Step 1

Your 5-Minute Setup

Enter all necessary data points one time into our secure, guided online interface. We immediately generate a Master Data Summary and email it to you. This summary contains all non-sensitive form data you will need to reference, along with a list of the few sensitive inputs (like your SSN) you must manually reference during submissions. We then purge your session data.

Step 2

Submission Plan

We activate your personal Vow Guide Timeline. We calculate all mandatory waiting periods (e.g., the required wait after the marriage certificate is received) and clearly outline the sequence: Social Security Administration submission first, then U.S. Passport, then Driver's License. We send you a notification only when you are legally and logistically ready for the next submission.

Step 3

Your Guidebook

For every stage on your timeline, we provide clear, step-by-step instructions and direct links for each online submission (Social Security Administration, Department of State, U.S. Postal Service). This includes the precise data mapping from your Master Data Summary to the online form fields, ensuring error-free submissions every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can you help me change my name if you don't submit the forms for me?

Faq Question Open Icon

We provide preparation, guidance, and sequencing. We save you hours of research by collecting all 55 necessary data points just once. We use that data to create summary sheets for online submissions. Our core value is providing the correct data, the correct sequence, and the right timing, ensuring an error-free, streamlined process you execute yourself.

Is my sensitive data safe?

Faq Question Open Icon

Absolutely. We never store your data. Your inputs are secured using encryption for the duration of your active session only. Once you complete your intake form, the sensitive information is immediately deleted from our system. We are a secure tool for preparation, not a data storage service.

Why can't I just print out all the forms from your site?

Faq Question Open Icon

Our platform prioritizes a modern, paperless workflow. If an official online form exists, we direct you to use that for submission.

What if I have questions or need help during the process?

Faq Question Open Icon

Our platform includes a robust step-by-step guide for every submission and a customer support team for additional questions. For specific issues or questions about your personalized timeline, our Premium tier provides access to dedicated email support from one of our specialists.

Why do I have to wait to start the process?

Faq Question Open Icon

The name change process is highly sequential and legally mandated. For example, you must wait until 30 days after your marriage date to apply for your name change with the Social Security Administration (SSA). We build these specific waiting periods and sequencing requirements (SSA first, then U.S. Passport, then Driver's License) into your personalized timeline, so you never lose time.
