Military Spouse Q+A | Married to the Military: Documents and Name Changes After You Get Married

My husband is in the Army and I am a military spouse. When I first got married, I remember be overwhelmed by the name change process and all the documents you had to get updated with the military. I waited for a while before getting my milso ID card and I actually could have gotten it way sooner! If you are dating someone, engaged, or just got married to someone in the military, then this video is for you! I hope it helps you out as you are making the transition. If you have any questions or need me to explain something comment below!!!

Your intro made me happy before you even started. Great information and video.

[@katt2570]

I just got engaged on March 30th and our wedding is already coming on May 27th! I've been such a mess trying to find as much information as possible to make my transition into DEERS smoother! Were gunna be PCSing to Georgia in December and all the documents need to be submitted by July the latest so I can get on his orders! This was so helpful! Thank you so much!

Super helpful!! Thanks for sharing this :)

[@jazmynjasinski1636]

Thank you for this video lol I had a gist of it but had no idea what order to go in. I had also forgotten about the whole name change stuff on my part

[@the478princess1.0]

thank you for making this !!!!

[@trinloper9365]

In getting married today! I’m so excited but super stressed because I am going back home Sunday. He will be in NC and I will be in MI for a few weeks. Until we get accepted on base

[@brookiejai]

I must add that if you are foreign, you also need to have your birth certificate for housing and the ID. I’m Canadian and just married a marine and I’m adjusting my status. It’s not easy at all

[@MariaRobertson]

I wish there were videos like this when I first got married because this is super helpful ! Thank you so much for this !!

[@MuhammadAli-uk5cm]

We want a girl for marige

[@natalieflecha4580]

Wow!! My husband and i are from PR were currently in Ft Carson but its nit compulsory to have your husband last name if you dont want to.

[@MykkiOnTheCusp]

I'm so glad I decided not to change my name after getting married. So complicated!

[@HryPotrFreak]

Thank you for sharing this info! We married a month ago and I don't know what I'm doing. I figured their would be lots of paperwork but I didn't what forms or where to find them. I've been trying to do some research before I call the base's family services for help/direction. I didn't even know what questions to ask other than please help me! Doesn't help that he is deploying soon and we have a baby on the way. I'm feeling a lot of pressure and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't stressed and scared.

[@Grogu01]

Hi I know this is an old comment, but how is everything okay? The issue of Information I can’t find is spouse and children benefits, do you get more money for having children?

[@Pika22chuu]

Hi! Do I have to do all of this if I'm not going to change my name? Or do I have to change my name?

[@funfunsize]

Im dating someone who is about to go into active military but he would like to marry me in next couple years so this is good to know. I have someone telling me its not worth the wait but to me it is if u lov someone it is.

[@gulsumgencer186]

How long did the process take for your guys to be together?

[@Prttygrlshawna]

I am getting married soon.😅

[@user-nb2bh5fi7s]

I have to change all that is anyway I can keep my social security number

[@meladyl800]

My fiance is in the military and will be taking my last name. Would it be a long and stressful process especially with him and his military stuff and documents?

[@Kickinyourboots1.0]

My girlfriend is in the military

[@theresaduarte8394]

Hi yes I’m dating someone. He wants to come home How can I help him come home He just got added on the deployment list.

[@meredith7808]

What if it’s the other way around. Military woman getting married to a civilian man. Does he have to do the social security changes? He isn’t changing his name to mine

[@carlyvangstadboyd4710]

You don’t have to get new legal identification unless you changed your name, what?

[@ricocash11]

What if we get married but dont want to change our names

[@kelignz]

You don't have to change your name, that is optional.

[@chaninathchaoyongcharoen8642]

Sorry, I'm confused. Do need to change my SSC before go get the military spouse's id? my English is not strong enough, I'm learning. Mahalo.

[@Fullbucketvlog]

Yes! You have to change your name on your social security card before going to DEERS to get your dependent ID. That said, often DEERS will accept your paperwork confirming the change rather than making you wait a month to get the physical new card in the mail. Good luck!

[@carlyvangstadboyd4710]

NO, you don’t have to change your name when you get married so this is inaccurate and misleading

[@abigaellepaul8390]

What if you keep your last name

[@lizsightler9209]

Same 😅 idk if I want to change or not

[@alejandrotorrestapia5292]

Solo encontré este canal ya que tiene el nombre de la misma tipa que se suicido tras sufrir bullying en 2008 por su sobrepeso y todo esto por una foto y después se convirtio como un meme de Jeff The Killer traduce esto al inglish xD

[@7av3ndr]

hii!! what if he’s the one changing his last name to mine? im the civilian and he’s the one in the military :)
