I’m a Mrs!
I’m a Mrs is a new Web site which promises to help make the lives of new brides easier. I’m A Mrs. www.imamrs.com, is an online Canadian marriage name change service that provides all of the forms, instructions and personalized letters new brides need when they embark on their official name change. By visiting www.imamrs.com, women can save hours – even days – in the name change process.
The Web site is the first of its kind and was born of the frustration new brides face when looking to legally change their name. Rather than venture to a government office for forms, and then search and call various other organizations, I’m a Mrs. takes care of all of the above in one easy stop. The site offers two packages. The Standard package which includes access to all of the necessary government forms, as well as access to three additional forms of your choice from our database. The other option is the Premium package which includes access to all forms in the database including government, banks, credit cards, utility companies, and mortgage companies.
“Planning a wedding can be a very stressful time, and once the wedding and honeymoon are over, we want to ensure that all women need to stress over is getting their thank you cards out the door,” says Claire Lamont, co-founder, I’m A Mrs. “In chatting with new brides, we found one of their biggest frustrations was the name change process, so I’m A Mrs. was started to help alleviate that pain.”
The site prides itself as a one-stop shop for Canadian name change and in addition to the standard forms available, customers can also choose forms from various department stores and loyalty programs such as Aeroplan and Shoppers Optimum. The site staff will develop forms upon request, and if there is a particular form not found on the site, I’m A Mrs. will procure it within 48 hours. Changing your name has never been so quick and easy.
“After the wedding I had my name changed for a few official documents like my social insurance number and financial statements,” says the recently married Marzena Ingram. “But to be honest, there are still about a dozen places that still have my maiden name on their records – I just don’t have the time to make all of those changes. A gift card for I’m A Mrs. would have made my life a whole lot easier.”

Just wanted to note that in Quebec, when you get married, you CANNOT legally change your name without going through a legitimate name change process. Hassel resolved. So save your money if your bride is a Quebecer.
We Quebecers are required to maintain our maidenname regardless of what we would like our names to be.
only on provincial documents are people forced by law to retain their names at birth, federal documents can easily be obtrained in the married name regardless of the province of residence… ie SIN, Passport, etc… also commercial documents can be obtained in either name as well… credit cards, financial institutions, reward programs, etc…
it’s true. Quebec operates under civil law and is the strictest of the Canadian provinces when it comes to name changes. We’ve spoken to a lot of Quebec brides that dislike the fact that they can’t use their new married name. Some have attempted to change with no luck. Some are going with a ‘hybrid’ method where they use their married name for all governmnt and banking documents, but use their married name on everything else. To the rest of Canadian brides…we really shouldn’t complain…spending the time changing your name is much easier than fighting the system.
