My fiance wants to change his last name to his dads last name before we get married because he wants me to take his last name with him. I read online that some people have changed their first middle and or last names by signing a different name on their marriage license. I was wondering if this would be possible in Tennessee? I do not know what a marriage license looks like, so i don't know if its possible.
I read this on a website: "Basically, the form has blanks for your current first, middle, and last names, and then it has blanks for your new first, middle, and last names. You can go in as John Edward Smith and Mary Ellen Jones and leave as Ethan Jonas Johnson and Isabelle Marie Richards, if that's what you want!"
Im from Hawkins County, Rogersville, Tennessee. Is this do-able? My fiance's mother was married to someone else when he was born so her current husband was placed as father on the birth certificate. Both passed away when he was very little, his sister raised him, and his biological father is thrilled about him wanting to change his last name. His family always told him growing up that he needed to correct his last name to his dads. His biological father has always been in his life, but they weren't close until a year or so ago.
Its $197.50 and a court date in my town for a name change, so we were hoping to bypass that.
