According to eSignature laws, forms approved electronically have the same validity as those approved with pen and paper. You can eSign almost any business and private paperwork. Four types of documents still call for handwritten signatures only - wills and testamentary trusts, court orders and other court forms, state statutes regulating divorce, adoption, or other family law, and notice of cancellation of utility services. If you follow the rules and utilize a trustworthy and compliant software solution, like DocHub, you can eSign your social security name change form without printing it.

Simply complete your form, double-check the correctness of your information and put your electronic signature at the end to make it submission-ready quickly.

Documents Social Security may accept to prove a legal name change include: Marriage document; Divorce decree; Certificate of Naturalization showing the new name; or. Court order approving the name change.
To change your name on your card, you must show us documents proving your legal name change and identity. You also must show us a document proving your U.S. citizenship, if it is not already in our records. You must present original documents or copies certified by the agency that issued them.
Getting a new social security card paves the way for other name changes, such as your drivers license and passport. Your social security number (SSN) will stay the same after changing your name.
