Question on records of our names on bills etc

[lbounds 16]

It might be a dumb question but I read it's good to show both of your married names together on bills and things like that. Since we are just married I haven't changed any billing records over.

Should I ask the phone company etc to change our account name to show Mr & Mrs Smith, etc to have these kind of records to show for AOS ?

I haven't changed my bank account either yet. I was a bit concerned about money management with our current financial situation.

I do have a checklist but I am just starting to prepare to submit forms for our AOS from our K1 visa.

Thank you for comments and helpful suggestions.

yes, it is a good idea for those things that you could use as proof of a bobafide/continuing marriage such as at least one joint bsnk acct, insurance that has the spouse as beneficiary, house ownership (if applicable), as well as mail received by beneficiary with usc's address.
