Marriage License

Ali, on March 10, 2021 at 8:20 AM Posted in North Carolina Planning 0 5
So, I didn't really think about this when I was filling out the marriage license. So Iive in Wake County, NC and on the marriage license it says first name, last name (which are required) and then there is a spot that says birth name (which is not required). I want to change my last name to my FH but wasn't sure if I had to put that or my legal name right now on there. Any advice would be so helpful.

    Did I have to put my married name on it or will it be ok?
    This is what the marriage license form looks like.

    I also live in NC. You put your maiden name on your marriage license. Your name is not legally changed until after you go to the SS office, which you will need your marriage license for. So putting your future name is not correct.

    Ok. Thank you so much! I was just confused and wasn't sure if I filled out the marriage license correctly. That makes me feel better.
