Who needs to know?
Changing names is a matter of personal preference. We received requests for name changes for various reasons and often we are asked ‘who else do I need to notify?’
Priority should be government identification. Many of these changes will require a copy of your marriage certificate and in some cases, they need to see the original.
Here are a few others who need to know:
• Drivers License
• Health Card
• Passport
• CRA
• Home Insurance
• Auto Insurance
• Car Insurance
• Life Insurance
• Employer
• Pension / Benefits
• Children’s School
• Will, Lawyer, Accountant
• Doctor, Dentist, Optometrist, Massage Therapist, Chiropractor
• Utility Provider (Gas, Cable, Hydro, Cell Phone)
• Notify the bank for your Mortgage or Landlord (tenant)
• Investment Accounts ( RSP’s TFSA’s etc)
• Bank accounts, credit cards
We help make the changes on your investments as seamless as possible.
