How to change your name with Mercury Insurance
Married or divorced and updating your accounts? Here's how Mercury Insurance takes a name change, from its own help page.
In person or by phone only. Mercury Insurance is one of the few that won't change your name online. Call 800-503-3724 or visit, and bring your documents.
Mercury Insurance's steps
Mercury doesn't post steps for changing the name on a policy. Call customer service or your agent; have your marriage certificate or decree ready.
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.
