PUBLIC RECORD/COPIES/PRIVACY Name Change – Other Than Traditional In our case, the groom intends to take the brides last name. How does he implement that?
• Traditionally, the bride has taken the groom’s last name. If you are intending anything other than the traditional name change, check with each agency for its requirements to accomplish that. If an agency requires more than a certified copy of your marriage license, a court-ordered name change can be accomplished at King County District Court: http://your.kingcounty.gov/kcdc/ncinfo.htm.
