name change dilemma!

[La Souris 19]

You may not be able to do it while in Quebec since you have to keep your maiden name there...

One of the reasons I chose to keep my name.

Good luck.

Spouses' names

Both spouses keep their birth names after marriage and continue to exercise their civil rights under that name, i.e. they must use their birth name in contracts, on credit cards, on their driver’s licence, etc.

This rule applies to all spouses domiciled in Québec, even if they were married outside Québec.

However, women married before April 2, 1981 who were already using their husband’s surname before that date may continue to exercise their civil rights under their married name.

Hey:

You change your stuff just like any other married woman, they really don't care where the marriage license is from.

Take the marriage license and go get your drivers license first.

Then go and get your health card with your drivers license and marriage certificate.

And just go from there.

I had zero problems, I just had to wait for the new stuff to come in the mail, so it took me a few weeks to get everything changed over.

Apparently I missed that line.

There has to be a way to do it, it's not like everyone on the planet has a driver's license.
