SO worth it! I just learned about this company from a friend and am SO happy I pulled trigger. I was really daunted by this whole process and they made it easy to digest, easy to follow along, easy to do and avoid mistakes along the way. It's now my GO TO gift for friends' weddings (both for utility and perfect price point). V happy !

I was completely unable to use their website to find any of the institutions I bank with, have insurance with, or anything else. The website does not appear to work at all. Possibly if you go out on your laptop it is more usable, but this is the third decade of the 21st-century so websites should have perfectly working mobile websites also. I should not have to dig out my laptop to do this. I originally gave them a one star review because I couldn't even reach them to get a refund. After numerous emails where they would not even acknowledge the possibility of issuing a refund,a refund was finally issued when I reiterated my threats regarding getting my money back through my credit card company, writing bad reviews all over the Internet, etc. Then all of a sudden I got some cooperation..-1.. then it took several days to show up even in pending which is very weird. usually a pending credit shows up almost immediately after being issued it does not take three days.But eventually it showed up. So I guess that's one good thing I can say about them. I do not understand why they were recommended by Forbes because when you read all the one star reviews on trust pilot, it makes no sense to spend any money at all on their services.

I bought the upgraded version of Newlynamed. I got married overseas. I emailed them 3x and they never responded. I am stuck from the beginning and have tried calling SSA but not having any luck. Once they have your money, you're on your own.

I was skeptical but I wouldn't been so lost without this name changing kit. I knew I could do all the research on my own but the time I saved by having NewlyNamed break it all down for me was SO worth it. I probably had to update my name in 30 places so I'm sure this kit saved me at least 12 hours of figuring things out.

Absolute waste of money. I wish I researched more before purchasing the do-it-yourself kit. I had heard from a family member that they make everything super easy by filling out all the forms…they absolutely do not. You’re paying for them to send you printed forms with your name filled in, and sometimes your address. This equals to about 5% of all of the forms filled in, leaving you with all the work. Doesn’t make anything easier, and they overpromise what you actually get. To charge $49 to upwards of $99 is a total scam. You still need to go into all of the departments physically, and send all of these forms. I would just Google what it takes for your name change in your state, and download everything yourself.

I have used Newly Named as a gift for several of my friends and they have loved it! I wish this was an option when I got married, this brand makes changing your name so much simpler. Best wedding gift - would highly recommend!

I used NewlyNamed after receiving a gift card at my bridal shower. It was amazing, it spells out everything you need to do and in which order (which is very important). It honestly made the process so easy I couldn’t recommend it more! It’s now my go to gift for weddings and bridal showers.

DO NOT purchase the $89 option. You're paying $50 extra for ~30 sheets of paper, a folder, 4 prepaid envelopes, and a cardboard box. The only item we mailed out was the passport and the prepaid envelope did not cover postage. I had to pay extra at the post office. If you have a printer, go that route. You only need to print ~15 sheets for applications (SS, DL, Passport, etc.). The service provides decent steps and clear instructions. Note: DMV title/registration instructions were incorrect but easily fixed when you are at the DMV, we needed to fill out an additional form.
