Please make sure the address to have the RECORDED copy (post ceremony) sent to you is correct.

If you only pay $83 you will have to go to the downtown Phoenix office to get your recorded copy.
Pay upwards of $127 and even get a digital copy emailed to you, it is not a “legal” copy per se, but can help in certain situations.
Step 4 - Post Ceremony | Name Change

If you are going on your honeymoon right after or even a month after - you will need to use your maiden name!
DO NOT book flights with your new last name until you go through the name change process of 1. Social Security Office, 2. DMV and 3. Passport
