Marriage is a crucial step in human life. It implies not only the spiritual closeness of the spouses and their joint household, but also some documentary formalities, for example, changing the name of one of the newlyweds at his own request.
Change of surname after second marriage
Even before registering her second marriage at the registry office, a woman must decide on the surname that she will wear after the wedding: her current name, or maybe her husband's surname? The decision, of course, is very important, and therefore a woman often doubts his loyalty. A married person will have to make a choice in this matter, because this is a personal matter, and no one will decide for her what to do.
The advantage is that the wife accepts and proudly bears her husband's surname, is the strengthening of family ties between husband and wife. In addition, the community and cohesion of the married couple is officially documented (the surname now brings them closer together).
The negative aspects of changing the last name after the second marriage
The downside to replacing the surname with a wife is the process itself, which is painfully long and exhausting. To proudly be called the surname of your new husband, you will have to change a lot of documents proving your identity: this is your passport (replacement should be done within a month from the date of registration at the registry office, otherwise you will have to pay a fine of 2,000 rubles), and a foreign passport (mandatory replacement for all those who like to leave the country and travel abroad). Also, you cannot do without a compulsory medical insurance policy (if it turns out to be invalid, you will not be provided with medical assistance, and therefore this document is very important), in addition, a woman is obliged to change her driver's license, because driving a car with incorrect documents is prohibited. It is worth noting that this procedure is extremely long - its duration can be up to 2 months!
In addition to all of the above, the pension certificate, TIN (taxpayer number), personal bank accounts (for a married woman, it is enough to warn the bank about a new marriage and a new surname that she is going to wear), documents granting property rights (to a car, an apartment, a summer residence, etc.) are subject to correction. the like), work book (just simply provide the HR department at work with a new passport and marriage certificate) and some other important documents.
Another inconvenience can be the replacement of the surname of a child who was born from his first marriage.
All married girls and women should not rush to make a decision. It is better to decide if there is a need to adopt the husband's surname. In the end, it’s better to wait than to hurry. The surname is a formality, the main thing is that there is love in the family.
