Documents You Need to Attach
PSECU requires one document from each of two categories. Skip either one and the form comes back unprocessed.2PSECU. Authorization for Name Change
The first category is an official document showing your new name. Any one of these works:
- Marriage certificate
- Court order for a name change
- Social Security card
- Adoption records
- Amended certified birth certificate
- U.S. passport
The second category is an updated driver’s license or state-issued ID. If your new license photo hasn’t been taken yet, PSECU will accept a copy of your current driver’s license together with the update card issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles.2PSECU. Authorization for Name Change That workaround matters for people filing paperwork before the new license arrives in the mail.
You only need copies, not originals. Photocopies are fine for mail; clear scans or photos saved as PDFs work for digital submissions.
How to Fill Out the Five Fields
The form is short. Each field is straightforward, but accuracy on the first try saves a round trip.2PSECU. Authorization for Name Change
- Account Number: your PSECU member account number, found on your statements or in digital banking.
- Current Name on Account: print your first name, middle initial, and last name exactly as they appear on your existing account. Check a recent statement if you’re not sure, because even a mismatched middle initial can slow things down.
- New Name on Account: print your new first name, middle initial, and last name as they appear on your Category 1 document.
- Signature — New Name: sign using your new legal name. This authorizes PSECU to update your records.
- Date: the date you sign.
No notary is required. You don’t need a witness, a stamp, or a branch visit for signature verification.
