RE: ADSactly Personal - Dear Steemian, Your Thoughts on Changing Your Name Please

in #life7 years ago

I'm sure it feels great to change your name, feels like you're creating a new identity plus the whole excitement but I did this midway through college and in my country here, I have had to take an affidavit/proof of identity with me everywhere whenever I am doing official paper works, now my degrees carry a different name, banking details another and so the passport. In retrospect, I feel it wasn't worth the stress, but it was fun to rename myself back then even if it was just my middle name.

Yes, I must admit before doing a little research on the subject, I didn't realize (or think of) paperwork would be such an issue.

It's even a more difficult issue dealing with public offices where I live so I guess that's why I felt it wasnt worth it. At the end of the day, I believe it's still a good/symbolic way to recreate yourself.

upvoted and now following you too. ;)

Thanks @buddy67. I followed back.
