Kristien applied for a new social security card today. It was an important step because she also legally changed her name. She is now officially Kristien Crumley. We discussed the name change issue earlier and both agreed about what to do.

The standard procedure for a name change (post-wedding) is to complete a form SS-5. You then bring the form and a certified copy of the marriage license to a local Social Security Administration office.

We waited roughly 40 minutes until our number was called. The clerk typed the information and said it would only be a week or two before the card is delivered. That’s pretty good for the government.
