How to change your name with Nationwide

Married or divorced and updating your accounts? Here's how Nationwide takes a name change, from its own help page.

HowBy phone or your agent

By mailNo: in person or by phone

In person or by phone only. Nationwide is one of the few that won't change your name online. Bring your documents when you go.

Nationwide's steps

Call Nationwide or your agent (the number is on your ID card and declarations page). Life insurance uses a mailed service request form.

Open Nationwide'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

Sasha writes and signs your name change letter for Nationwide and every other company on your list, with your certificate attached. It also keeps track of who's done. The checklist is free.
