1. Certified copies. After a marriage you order certified copies of your marriage certificate from the county clerk. After a divorce or a court order, certified copies come from the Prothonotary (Court of Common Pleas).
2. Social Security. Update your SSA record first — it’s free, and it has to come before your driver’s license.
3. PennDOT. Reissue your license or state ID with your new name.
4. Passport. Submit the correct form with a certified copy — which form depends on how long ago your passport was issued.
5. Everything else. Banks, employer, insurance, voter registration, vehicle title, subscriptions.
These are the statewide steps. The parts that actually cost you time — which office, which address, which fee, which form — are what your county guide answers.
