Changing your name after your marriage?
Simply follow the steps set out in the post below for NSW.
If you were married outside of NSW, you need to apply for your official marriage certificate from Births, Deaths & Marriages (BDM) in the state in which you were married.
Or I can do this on your behalf.
And you would follow the process for changing your Driving Licence in the correct centre for your state I.e. Access Canberra for ACT.
Recently married in Australia or about to be? Did you know, in most cases, it’s free to change your surname after marriage and you don’t need to pay the fee to apply for an official Change of Name.
All you need to do is:
1. Obtain your official Marriage Certificate from the NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages
2. Update your name on your NSW Driver’s Licence via a Service NSW Centre
3. Update your name on your Medicare card via Services Australia
Then you can update your details everywhere else!
