When I get married can I change my given name at the same time as I change my surname
My given name is currently Rebecca but I have only ever been called Bec, I am wondering when I get married can my celebrant register my name with births deaths and marriages as Bec (Husbands Surname) or do I need to apply to change my given name before the ceremony? Thank you.
Sian Lavater Celebrant and MC - I Do Colourful Celebrations
Hi Bec!
If you're meaning to change your first name as well as your last name to your husband's last name, it may be best to wait until after the ceremony and registration takes place. You wedding regaistration is not used to change your name. It's actually the marriage certificate afterwards that you use to change your surname name from your current (or maiden name) to your new surname.
If you was looking to change your entire name to Bec (any middle names you'd like to keep) (husband's surname) it might be less effort to change your name all in one go after the registration takes place so you can change both at the same time.
Then use that change of name certificate to update all of your records. The other option is to change your first name by way of a 'Change of Name' process with your state Births Deaths and Marraiges, then have your marriage registered, then at least your marriage certificate will show "Bec (maiden name) - then you can change your last name once you get your marriage certificate.
Basically, the short answer is no, your Celebrant cannot change your first name or your last name, but you can change your first name youself before the ceremony so your marriage certificate reads 'Bec' and then legally change your surname after that.
