How to change your name with Wells Fargo
Married or divorced and updating your accounts? Here's how Wells Fargo takes a name change, from its own help page.
In person or by phone only. Wells Fargo is one of the few that won't change your name online. Bring your documents when you go.
Wells Fargo's steps
Meet a banker at a branch (book an appointment first) with your updated photo ID and the original or certified certificate or decree.
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 Wells Fargo and every other company on your list, with your certificate attached. It also keeps track of who's done. The checklist is free.
