Questions

Good to know

Should I buy Namesake before or after my wedding?

Either. The details we use are the same, and you can update them any time before you download your package.

What do you fill in for me?

Your previous and new names, your spouse's name, your address and contact details, and your marriage date and place, on every form that asks for them. Where an official form can't be filled in advance (some are online-only), you get a page showing exactly what to enter in each box.

Do you need my SIN or health card number?

No. Namesake never asks for your SIN, health card, licence or passport numbers, or your date of birth. Those boxes are left blank and flagged so you can fill them in yourself.

I've already started changing my name. Is Namesake still useful?

Yes. Tick off what you've done and follow the rest.

Which provinces do you cover?

Every province except Quebec, at launch. This preview shows the Alberta demo.
