Shaped by what newly married couples actually run into.
The details you might not know to look for
Payroll, retirement, health insurance and IT often sit with different teams. Name & Next gives you one ready-to-send message, so nothing at work falls behind your new name.
Copy it once. Send it to HR on Monday.
Hi HR team,
I’m changing my last name after getting married. Could you let me know what you need from me, and whether payroll, benefits and my work email are updated together or separately?
Thank you!

A note from the founders
When Tiffanie changed her name, she kept the whole thing in one master spreadsheet: which office came first, which forms she needed, and who still had her old name. That's too much to carry in the happiest season of your life. We built My New Surname so you can skip the spreadsheet and spend your evenings being newly married.
