Title: Change of last name
Post by: rachelgalo on February 05, 2016, 08:15:13 am: Hi everyone

I was just wondering, I can't encash my check coz my IDs are still showing my maiden name. We didn't go to the bank though, its just the counter at the supermarket. We are advised to try going to my husband's bank.

Can I change my name to my maiden name so that future checks will be showing it?

Thank you so much in advance :)

I wonder if maybe my husband can add me to his bank account...

In order to be paid on here, the account(paypal or bank) would have to be in the name you provided to the site when you registered. I believe there are certain reloadable cards that would work on here for direct deposit
