You shouldn't need your wife's signature on any document that is necessary for a male name change. I am currently procrastinating on changing my own last name, and all it takes is some annoying paperwork, about 450 bucks, and a court appearance.
Lindsay is that you? When I spent a night in the drunk tank at ASU back in the day...they put me in there before I could get "Lindsay's" phone number. Ah...what could have been.
Smells fishy to me too. Given the hateful way the OP speaks about his wife, and given the oddities of his story (sorry, I am not buying the $150 charge for fingerprinting story)(and the story that his evil twin came up on both the SSN check AND a criminal records check), his willingness to go to such extreme measures to dodge a simple data-entry mix-up on his record. Well, let's just say that I am starting to suspect the worst about the assault and battery charges.
It's not the social...its just the name..
I found out today...he did a name search first...and then he did a social search and saw that the middle names where different.
Don't take changing your name too lightly. You will have to carry the papers with you forever and prove you are who you are over and over.
Just for example, if you want to get a DL in Nevada, you have to present every court order that changed your name. Every marriage and divorce certificate too. If you are female, that can be a real mess if you have been married and divorced.
I have a valid passport and a valid DL from another state and I'm having a problem getting a new DL.
Just wanted you to know, the name change may create it's own new set of problems. My H has the same name as a guy who defaulted on a bunch of student loans and wrote bad checks. We have been affected by this and the Sheriff even showed up once to serve warrants and arrest him.
Thanks for the info
