Step-by Step Guide & Checklist After Divorce

There are many things to organise during a separation. If you don’t know where to begin,

What You Need To Know About Name Change After Divorce

Name Change Options

Reverting to your maiden name isn’t nearly as complicated as it might seem. You can start using your maiden name at any time. If you would like to start using your maiden name while separated, you will need your birth certificate and marriage certificate to verify the connection between your maiden and married names and revert to using your maiden name. If you would like to change your name to something other than your maiden name you will need to contact Births, Deaths & Marriages in your state to apply for a legal name change.

How To Change My Name After Divorce

Once your divorce is finalised, your divorce certificate is sufficient proof to change back to your maiden name. Your Divorce Order can be obtained from Family Law Courts if you don’t already have a copy.

Get Your Name Change Package here

How Do I Inform Entities Of My Name Change?

All organisations and businesses that you deal with on a daily basis will need to be notified of your name change. By choosing one of our name change packages, we take the hassle out of this process.   We guarantee our services will save you time and make your life change easier to manage. If they don’t we’ll happily refund your money.

SEE OUR NAME CHANGE PACKAGES
  • Births, Deaths & Marriages
  • Family Law Courts

You can begin reverting to your maiden name with your marriage certificate as soon as you wish. If you need a copy of your marriage certificate, you must apply for a certificate in the state in which your marriage was registered.

If your divorce has been finalised, you can order a divorce certificate from the Family Law Courts to use as a name change document.

 

Next Step is not affiliated with Births, Deaths & Marriages, and therefore we can not answer questions relating to the issuing of certificates. These questions are best directed to the registry in the state in which the event took place. Contact details can be found below.

Certifying Documents

Each state and territory have different legislation governing who can certify documents. To avoid confusion and potential delays, we recommend all copies of documents are certified by a Justice of the Peace.   Below is a list of persons approved to certify documents in each state. Click on the link in your home state to find a Justice of the Peace local to you.

Justice Of The Peace

Justice of the Peace (JPs) are voluntarily appointed officers who carry out a range of legally-related tasks to help the community. The most common task that JPs perform is certifying  copies  as being true and correct versions of the original document.   We have Queensland registered Justice of the Peace on staff. While they can certify copies of documents for residents of any Australian state or territory, it is at the discretion of each individual organisation as to whether or not they will accept copies certified by a Justice of the Peace outside of your state of residence. The original documents must be sighted with the copies in order for the copies to be certified. If you would like our staff to certify copies of your marriage, divorce or birth certificates or other relevant identification documents, please email us at admin@nextstep.com.au to arrange. You will need to send your original document along with the copies you would like certified and a postage paid reply envelope so we can return your documents to you. This is a free service. If your name or address change requires you to complete a Statutory Declaration or requires signatures to be witnessed, this will need to be conducted in person. The links below will help you find a JP local to you.
