Make It Official
Our favorite way to celebrate your new name is by making it official! Unfortunately, changing your name isn’t as simple as switching your Instagram handle. You’ll need to notify the Social Security Administration, the IRS, the DMV & plenty of other places. While this long list of items can seem daunting we know just the thing to make it easy. Enter HitchSwitch, your go-to for legally changing your name. They simplify the process by providing you with all the necessary forms and instructions on how to make it official (and not just to your followers).
HitchSwitch offers 3 different package options to help you with the process. While each package includes the same forms, you’ll get to pick the level of assistance you want. From gathering which forms you’ll need, showing you how to fill them out, and submitting applications you have the option to pick your level of service.
Select Your Package:
1. Platinum ($99.99): The HitchSwitch team will ship printed name change applications that have been auto-filled with your basic information, a set of corresponding instructions that will explain how to submit each application, and pre-paid envelopes for any steps that can be submitted through the mail.
