Changing back to my maiden name was one peice of paper. I live in Pennsylvania. There was no cost for that filing with the Commonwealth or social security. Social security was easy, the form was on their site and took all of 10 minutes at the window. I got my new card a week later. There is no cost with PennDOT unless you want a new picture card which costs $10. Certified copies from the prothontary run about $40, but time and date stamped copies are gratis. These are what I sent to the utlity companies and gave to the bank to change my name there. I will change home owners and car insurance policies when it is time to renew them. To change the deed on the house will cost about $150-$200 and is not important to me right now. If I sell the house later it will be listed at closing as Jane Smith formerly know as Jane Doe.
