After the wedding, the Officiant will take care of filing the paperwork with the County Clerk's office (in Grand County, UT). You will receive a Certified copy of your Marriage Certificate in about a week via US Mail. (We got married on a Saturday and received our copy 4 days later, on Wednesday)...so make arrangements for someone to pick up your mail, if you'll be away on honeymoon.

If you are changing your name, you'll need to make (and bring) copies of the Marriage Certificate before heading out to fun places (in this order) like the Social Security office and the Driver's License office. Go to those places *first*. Next, go to Vehicle Registration. Once you receive an updated Driver's license, you can continue to change your name on records such as your bank and other accounts. www.bridelaw.com offers free, simple forms you can download and use to change your name on various accounts.

If you have automatic deductions made from your bank or other accounts, call the businesses involved (such as your loan company, insurance company, etc.) and ask what is required of you to ensure that payments will still be made in a timely manner. You may need to switch to a manual payment method, at least temporarily.
