1 Step one of five
You answer a few questions
Your state, your situation, your old and new name. About three minutes, no account needed, nothing to upload.
How it works
Surname Switch works like this: you answer a short questionnaire, about three minutes. You get an instant answer on whether you need a formal name change or your certificate is enough. You follow one ordered plan of your actual banks, super fund and utilities. On the Powered plan, AI writes every message and prefills your official forms. You review, send, and tick each one off, and your details stay in your browser the whole time.
Your state, your situation, your old and new name. About three minutes, no account needed, nothing to upload.
We tell you straight: register a formal change of name, or your marriage certificate is already enough. Most people married in Australia need no registration at all. General information, not legal advice.
Not a generic list. Your real bank, your real super fund, your real energy company, sorted into three waves: ID first, then money, then everyday accounts, so each update unlocks the next.
AI drafts a polite, correct message for every organisation, and your official forms come back prefilled and ready to sign. You review everything before it goes anywhere. Or select a Lite plan to do it yourself with links and steps.
Every update is one trackable card. Progress saves on your device, so you can stop after Medicare today and pick it up on the weekend. When the last tick lands, nothing is forgotten.

Two ways to use it
In plain words
You answer a short questionnaire, about three minutes. Surname Switch tells you whether a formal change of name with Births, Deaths and Marriages applies, or whether your marriage certificate is enough. It then builds one ordered plan: ID first, then money, then everyday accounts, using your actual organisations. On the Powered plan, AI writes every notification message and your official forms arrive prefilled. You review, send, and tick each one off, and your progress saves on your device.
Usually not. If you married in Australia, your official marriage certificate is generally enough to take a spouse's surname and update your ID and accounts. A formal change registered with your state's Births, Deaths and Marriages applies in other cases, such as choosing a brand new name. This is general information, not legal advice.
Lite is $25 and gives you your verdict, your ordered plan and every link. Powered is $65 and adds AI-written messages and prefilled official forms. Seeing how it works and building your plan costs nothing.
On your device. Your answers and progress live in your browser. Drafting a message sends only what that one message needs, and nothing is stored on our servers. Account numbers never leave your device.
The steps you just watched, with your name, your state and your actual companies. Plans from $25.
