Summary

Existing law allows one or both parties to a marriage to change the middle or last name by which that party wishes to be known after solemnization of the marriage. Existing law also requires the adoption of a new name, or the choice not to adopt a new name, by means of a marriage license application to be made only at the time the license is issued, as provided. This bill would allow one or both parties to change both the middle and last names by which that party wishes to be known after solemnization of the marriage. This bill would also allow for an amendment to be issued to correct a clerical error in the new name fields on the marriage license, as provided.
