How to change your name with BGE
Married or divorced and updating your accounts? Here's how BGE takes a name change, from its own help page.
In person or by phone only. BGE is one of the few that won't change your name online. Call 1-800-685-0123 or visit, and bring your documents.
BGE's steps
BGE doesn't post online steps for a name change. Call residential Customer Service (weekdays 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.); Tuesday to Thursday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. is quickest.
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.
Let Sasha handle the letters
Sasha writes and signs your name change letter for BGE and every other company on your list, with your certificate attached. It also keeps track of who's done. The checklist is free.
