How to change your name with Consumers Energy
Married or divorced and updating your accounts? Here's how Consumers Energy takes a name change, from its own help page.
In person or by phone only. Consumers Energy is one of the few that won't change your name online. Call 800-477-5050 or visit, and bring your documents.
Consumers Energy's steps
Consumers Energy doesn't post online steps for a name change. Call residential customer service (weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and ask what they need.
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.
