Your situation
Common questions
Usually not. If you married in Australia and are taking or adding your partner's surname, your official marriage certificate from Births, Deaths and Marriages is all the proof you need. There is no separate registration and no deed poll. You show that certificate to each organisation in turn.
If you married in Australia there is no government fee at all, because your marriage certificate is already your proof. If you need to register a formal change of name, your state registry charges roughly $130 to $220. Surname Switch is $25 for Lite, which is your personal ordered plan, and $65 for Powered, which also prefills your official forms and writes every message.
Building your plan takes about three minutes. Sending the notifications is usually one or two sittings of a few hours. Processing then varies by organisation: government ID takes days to weeks, while banks, utilities and subscriptions are usually faster.
It depends on your life. The Surname Switch app tracks 66 kinds of organisation, plus the named providers within them: driver licence, Medicare, passport, the ATO, Centrelink, the electoral roll, banks and credit cards, super, insurance, your employer, energy and water, internet and mobile, loyalty programs like Qantas and Velocity, and more. You can also add anything specific to your life.
