Do you collect and store my personal information?

Née does not collect or store any sensitive personal information, so your privacy is protected throughout the process.

When should I change my last name?

You can change your last name at any point after your wedding. To begin the process, you’ll need certified copies of your marriage certificate, which is the first step outlined in our name change kits.

Should I change my name before my honeymoon?

If you have upcoming international travel booked under your maiden name, we recommend waiting to update your passport until after your trip. The name on your airline reservation must match the name on your passport exactly.

What if I got married in a different state from where I live?

That’s completely fine. You’ll use the certified marriage certificate issued by the state where you were married, but your name change process will be based on the state where you currently live and will apply for your driver’s license.

What if I got married in a different country?

You can still use a Née Name Change Kit if you were married abroad. You’ll need an official marriage certificate that is recognized in the U.S. Depending on the country and issuing language, you may also need a certified English translation or additional documentation.

Can NÉE name change kits be used for divorce too?

Cheers to the new you. Yes, NÉE kits work for divorce as well.

Anywhere your kit references "marriage certificate" would be replaced with your divorce decree (or court order) instead.

How do I personalize my name change kit?

For our Luxe Name Change Kit, check the “Custom Cover” box and enter your first name, married last name, and maiden name.

For our Digital Name Change Kit, enter your first name, married last name, and maiden name in the special instructions box at checkout, or email support@neenamechange.com after placing your order.

Can I add Née products to my registry?

Of course, Née is available on Zola, The Knot, and With Joy.

You can shop our Name Change Kits and Keepsake Boxes directly through your preferred registry and add them to your wedding registry.

How often are kits & information updated?

We’re constantly updating our kits as information and forms change.

If you wait a while to use your kit, we’ve all been there, and are concerned it may be outdated, just email support@neenamechange.com with your order number and we’ll send you the latest version.

Do you accept returns or exchanges?
