In person or by phone only. State Farm is one of the few that won't change your name online. Bring your documents when you go.
State Farm's steps
Call your State Farm agent to update your name on your policies.
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
