TransUnion's steps

Usually updates once your lenders report your new name. To request it directly, mail a letter with your address, date of birth and SSN plus a copy of your new license or court order. Uploads aren't accepted for names.

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.
