Hi everyone. When I change my surname do I notify the cra? I only want to assume his last name not legally change it. We are getting married in October. Just wondering about the legalities of this
Changing your name may require the wedding certificate once you've signed the marriage license at the ceremony. Once you get your marriage certificate 3 months later, it will be required to change your surname officially to his with the proof shown for driving license, health and SIN. You may then use the surname for the taxes purposes. I'm not sure if the idea of changing your name now will allow you to be used for the tax return.
