MetLife's steps

Life insurance: send the Notification of Name Change form signed by all owners. Annuities and retirement products have their own name change form; call 800-638-2704 if unsure.

Open MetLife'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.

Let Sasha handle the letters
