American Family Insurance's steps
Update personal information, including a new last name, in My Account or the MyAmFam app, or ask your agent. Life insurance uses a separate name change form.
Have these ready
- A copy of your marriage certificate, divorce decree or court order (most companies ask for one).
- Your updated driver's license or ID, if you have it. Social Security comes first, then the DMV.
- Your account number, and the name the account is in now.
