All three take the pain out of changing your name, but they work differently. MissNowMrs and HitchSwitch are kits that fill out forms and give you a master checklist. GovPlus focuses on the federal forms, your Social Security card and passport, and checks them before you submit. Here’s how to choose.
Prices from each provider’s site and published package lists, checked Nov 2026. Government fees, like a passport update, are separate. A new Social Security card is free.
MissNowMrs and HitchSwitch both start around $40 for a basic kit. GOV+ starts at $97 per application (with $30 off your first) and reviews your federal forms before you submit.
They fill out and prepare your forms, but you still sign and submit them to each agency yourself, and you still pay any government fees.
You could, but most people only need one. Pick GovPlus if the federal forms worry you most, or a kit if you want help with the long list of accounts.
