How Do I…
Change My Name?

If you have changed your name legally, you need to change your TMRS account to reflect your new name by sending a TMRS Address or Name Change Form. For compliance and security reasons, we are not able to make a name change over the phone or the Internet. Include a photocopy of a legal document showing your changed name (see Note).

How to Complete the TMRS Address/Name Change form • TMRS-CHNG

  1. Fill out the top portion of the form:
    • Full Name
    • SSN (must be legible and match the number on file)
    • Date of birth
    • Current or last employing city
    • Daytime phone
  2. Skip the 2nd section (address change) and fill out the 3rd section, which asks for
    • Old name
    • New name
    • Reason for change
  3. Enclose a photocopy of a legal document verifying your name change (see Note).
  4. Signature Required — be sure to sign and date the form.
  5. Send the form and name change documentation to TMRS either by mail or fax.
Note

Acceptable legal documents to verify name change include:

  • Marriage Certificate
  • Divorce Decree (Submit 3 pages: 1st page, name change section, and page with judge's signature and date.)
