Answer 1

You must have the cheques or you wouldn't be wanting to know how to change the name, don't worry you can still use the cheque if they   have your maiden name on them, all you need is proof of your maiden name.

Answer 2

Do you mean you just ordered checks with your maiden name on them? (Why would you do that, if you were getting married?)

Anyway -- if that's what you did, you could call the company and ask them if they can revise your pending order and change the name, or you could cancel that order completely and send in a new one with the correct name.

If it's too late to cancel, you can probably continue to use those checks and just sign your maiden name to them rather than your new name, or you can order new checks with the right name on them and just throw out the old ones. (Make sure to shred them!)

Answer 3

If you haven't received them yet...call them and tell them so they can change the name for you. If you have already ordered them and received them you will have to re order in your married name. If you have changed your name at your bank to your married name, your bank will still accept the checks. I was married last October and still use my checks with my maiden name on them and have no problems at all. Good Luck!

In addition, if you have not changed your name at your bank, you can go into the local branch you deal with and bring your marriage certificate with you and they will change to your married name on your account.
