Equifax's steps

Usually updates on its own once your lenders report your new name. To do it now: sign in to myEquifax under your former name, file a dispute on the old name (say it's a legal name change), and upload your new license or court order.

Open Equifax's page

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.
