Official forms come back filled in

Real government and provider PDFs: Medicare, the electoral roll, super funds, bank forms. Every field we hold gets filled, signature stamped, today's date in.

If a form needs something we do not hold, like gender or citizenship, we ask first, never guess. Then you print, sign and lodge it.

Start on Lite, upgrade for $40

Start on Lite, then upgrade to Powered for $40, the same $65 total either way.

No deadline, no subscription ticking while you decide. Your plan and progress stay on your device.

Married in Australia? It's free.

Taking your spouse's surname after marrying here costs nothing. Your marriage certificate is your proof, no government application needed.

Other situations: a state fee applies

Deed poll, married overseas, or a brand new name. Your state registry charges about $130 to $220, paid to them, not us. Our price covers only the kit. See your exact state fee on our name change cost guide →.

Pricing questions

Pricing questions, answered

What is the difference between Lite and Powered?

Lite is $25 and gives you your full personalised plan in the right order, a step-by-step guide for each organisation, a direct link to each one, and a progress tracker. You do the sending yourself. Powered is $65 and adds two things: an AI-drafted message for every organisation in the right channel, and official forms prefilled with your details and signature. With Powered you review what has been written and send it.

Is this a subscription?

No. Both plans are a single one-off payment. There is nothing recurring, nothing to cancel, and no account to create.

Can I see my plan before I pay?

Yes. Building your plan is free. You answer the questions, get your verdict on whether a formal name change applies, and see your whole list of organisations. You only pay to unlock the full kit, so you know exactly what you are buying first.

Can I start on Lite and upgrade later?

Yes. The upgrade from Lite to Powered is $40, which is the same $65 total as buying Powered outright. There is no time limit on deciding and nothing is wasted by starting on Lite.

What if something goes wrong with my purchase?

Contact us at contact@surnameswitch.com and we will work with you in good faith. Nothing here limits any refund or remedy you are entitled to under Australian Consumer Law.

Are government fees included?

No, and they cannot be, because they are paid directly to the government. If your situation needs a formal change of name, your state registry charges roughly $130 to $220. If you married in Australia and are taking your spouse's surname, there is no government fee at all: your marriage certificate is your proof.

What if one of my companies is not on your list?

You can add any organisation that is not already covered, and it is treated like the rest of your plan. On Powered that includes drafting the message for it.

What happens to my details after I am done?

They stay on your device. Your answers and progress live in your browser, not on our servers, and your signature is stamped onto forms in the moment and never retained. Drafting a message sends only the minimum needed to write that one message, and stores nothing.

What if I need to change my name again later?

Most people change their name once. If life changes again, you build a new plan when you need one. There is no ongoing cost in the meantime because there is no subscription.

Start with the plan, upgrade when ready

Answer a few questions and build your plan in minutes. Pick Lite or go straight to Powered.
