Why My New Surname costs $19.99 once, and what we had to leave out to do that
A name change is a project with an end date, so My New Surname has one payment. What the price covers, what it does not, and why there is no subscription.
The short version
- The current price is one $19.99 USD payment. It is not a subscription.
- The price buys the sequenced plan and local progress tools. It does not buy forms or filing.
- Verified purchase access can transfer after receipt verification. Answers and progress remain local to the browser where they were created and do not transfer.
- What we left out on purpose: paper mailing, upsells, and any collection of your SSN or documents.
- Doing it yourself is possible. Our free state guides link the official sources we reviewed.
The My New Surname price is $19.99 USD, once. There is no subscription because a name change is a bounded project. Current checkout availability is shown before payment; the free questionnaire and preview remain available either way.
Why one payment fits the product
The product helps organize one transition, not an ongoing membership. A single price makes that boundary plain and avoids artificial urgency, crossed-out list prices, and upgrade promises for features outside the current product scope.
What you get, and what we left out
One payment buys the sequenced plan for your situation, the requirements and official source links available for its covered steps, and local progress tracking. What we deliberately left out: printed forms and mailing envelopes, upsells, and any collection of your Social Security number or document uploads. The plan works without them, so we never ask.
How to compare alternatives
Doing it yourself is possible, and our free state guides can help you review official sources. Other services may offer forms, mailing supplies, or human support. Compare the current scope, price, and privacy policy of any provider directly; official sources still control the underlying requirements.
