Is it worth changing the surname after marriage?

Content

Since time immemorial, a woman after marriage took her husband’s last name. And, in principle, it has already become part of his family. Over time, the rules began to change a bit and it was already optional to change the girl’s surname. In some, for example, Western countries have such an option as a double surname. Let us figure out how permitted and accepted in our country, and we will also not forget about the opinion of our husband in such a slightly delicate issue.

Is it necessary to change the surname when marriage, is it possible to leave your own?

The last decade, women often leave their last name after marriage. Of course, once in Russia there was no question of this. Therefore, most likely, this is the influence of European (or other) countries. For example, in Iceland there is no such thing that a woman change the surname after the wedding. And in Denmark, on the contrary, the man takes the name of his wife. Yes, of course, this is how the current financial and general independence of women is also reflected.

Although, perhaps, the reason is the unwillingness to mess with the documents. Recall that you need to change such documents:

naturally, the Russian passport itself
do not forget about the foreign passport
of course, the indication code
pension certificate, if any
employment history
and medical policy

Diplomas, certificates and other certificates remain on the girl’s surname, only every time it will be necessary to present a marriage certificate (at least its copy). If we talk about whether it is necessary to take her husband’s name without fail, then there is no such strict requirement! Therefore, if desired, you can safely leave your own girl.

Important: minors who have reached 16 years, such a procedure can be carried out without the written consent of parents. That is, independently.

Is it worth changing the surname when marriage: for and against

Already figured out that today the change of surname after marriage is not a prerequisite. But there are, both positive aspects in this, and negative qualities. Therefore, before going to such a responsible and important step (after all, changing the surname will affect the future fate) need to carefully weigh everything.

What are the advantages of the same surname:

Well, for starters, it is worth highlighting the psychological aspect. The family with the same surname becomes as a single whole. This gesture speaks of the serious intentions of the spouse and her great love (at least, according to men).
This also hides the secret meaning - the woman becomes a particle of her husband. That is, she completely belongs to him and be "behind her husband."
Although you have to tinker after the wedding with papers, but in the future it will be much easier. Yes, so far we do not run in your youth. But when it appears, for example, to formalize heredity, it will be much more difficult to do this with a different surname. Then you have to mess with papers and other documents even more.
When the children appear, it will be easier for you, and the kids. With different surnames, it will be necessary to carry a marriage certificate with you, which will confirm kinship with your own child and husband (or husband with you).
For society, it sounds much more beautiful and easier when the names are the same. We did not step forward so much, and yet they will ask a lot of questions, why did you decide to do this way.
This item can be both a plus and a minus. Sometimes a girl’s last name does not sound very beautiful or has a funny meaning. But the surname of the husband will help to correct this situation.

What are the disadvantages then await you:

The change of passport and other documents is one. But there is one more "but."
- If you are studying at the institute (or another educational institution), then it is worth running there. Since, you will have to change all the documents in order to get a diploma after the end with the desired surname.
- Also, it is worth changing the surname in other organizations as electric networks, tax inspectorate and others.
- At work, we do not forget, it is also worth changing the surname in all documents.
- If a woman has her own business, then there is paperwork here.
- Creative people should also not relax, because now under each work you have to change the signature. And then also explain to others who this new author, for example, and where the old worker went.
If a woman has children from other marriages, then in this aspect it is also worth carrying everywhere their old testimonies of marriage in order to prove your kinship. As an option, you can change the previous surname to everyone to the name of the husband. But this process is even more painstaking.
If the couple decided to go on a wedding trip abroad, then the passport also changes and is not done in the shortest possible time.

As you can see, there are disadvantages in any case. Therefore, always be guided by personal priorities and amenities. And most importantly, in this matter, be sure to consult your future spouse.

What if you do not change the surname when marriage: the opinion of men

So we approached this slightly reverent topic. The fact is that in such a matter, a man can hide his desire a little, hiding behind public opinion. If we talk about the general opinion of men, then it will have the opposite nature.

In general, men also adhere to old -fashioned traditions that are not directly important. But, as they say, it should.
Some men (and them, by the way, are the majority) come to the conclusion that it is extremely frivolous from the girl. Some even compare this with the fact that it is like to remain a married girl.
The most significant reason is the continuation of the genus. So we, the Slavs, started, such a tradition. A woman changes her last name and gives birth to a child to continue her husband’s family. By the way, such a tradition is not only in our country, but also, for example, in eastern countries. Especially if we consider ancient times.
- By the way! If a man has nothing against the woman left her maiden name, then at the birth of a child the situation changes dramatically. How is it, the child will not have my last name? In this situation, they are ready to tear their shirts on their chests to convince you of the opposite.

The opinion of men about the change of surname

Yes, there are also those who simply respect a woman’s desire and are ready to sacrifice personal views.
But there are such men whom this aspect does not care at all. That is, for a man it doesn’t matter what surname his lover has. The main thing is that she is near. But the surname in the child should be him, because the continuation of the genus is lost! By the way, as some say, my wife will take my last name at any time.

Is it possible to take a double surname when marriage?

Double surnames came to us their West, where they became popular in the 10th century. In Russia, this became in demand first among creative personalities or famous people who need to leave their last name. But there are some difficulties that should be faced with such a desire.

Interesting! To date, in Russia, about 80% of women take, as expected, the name of the husband. 15% of girls leave a girlish name. And only a small percentage of 5 representatives - choose a double surname.

They do not have the right to refuse you, because under the law such an action is not prohibited. The procedure is the same as usual - submit an application and in a month you get a new passport. The only restriction can only be an existing double surname.
This item is a little contradictory, since it does not have a reasonable legal framework. Those who decided on such a step were faced with a problem - the registry office requires that both spouses have a double surname. And men do not really want to take the name of their wife.

Important: in the beginning there should be the surname of the spouse, and through the hyphen already the maiden name of the wife.

And then it all depends on your assertiveness. If you really insist on your own, then you should stock up on patience and some information. According to 32 articles of the Family Code (paragraph 2), the change in the surname of one of the spouses does not entail the change of the name of the other representative.

Important: let's touch on another point that is misleading or doubt. The passport has slightly different replacement periods, so you can go abroad after the wedding according to the old documents. But this information should be clarified directly in the travel agency from which the trip is planned.

Is it possible to change the last name a year after marriage?

Another popular question that concerns many newlyweds. We will not delve into the possible reasons for such a decision. And we won’t go in circles either.

The surname can change the surname in a year, two or five years of marriage! Yes, at least ten years later - this is your right.
If we talk about the procedure, then it is not much different from the one that is carried out immediately after marriage. A statement is also written, which is being considered for about a month (possibly a short period). More precisely, in a month or two you will receive a new passport.
All other organizations that were indicated above should also then be replaced by a new surname.
The spouses are issued a new marriage certificate, which should already contact their (at the place of registration) migration service.

Replacing the surname in the passport after marriage: Dates

In order for the newlyweds to return to reality after the honeymoon, the state gives them a period of 30 days. If the wife indicated the name of her husband in the marriage certificate, then the application must be submitted no later than a month later! Otherwise, there will be a fine. Approximately 1,500-2000 rubles.
