How to Change Your Name After Marriage in Victoria
You do not have to change your name after marriage.
Some people do. Some people do not. Both are fine.
The common options
After marriage, many people choose to:
- keep their own surname
- start using their spouse’s surname
- use a hyphenated surname
If you want a completely different surname arrangement, you may need a formal change of name through BDM Victoria.
What you usually need
For most post-marriage admin, you need the official Victorian marriage certificate, not just the certificate from the day.
Practical next steps
Most people update:
- driver’s licence
- passport
- bank records
- Medicare
- superannuation
- employer records
Important point
Different organisations can have different document rules, especially for hyphenated or less common surname choices.
If you are unsure, check directly with the organisation and with BDM Victoria.
