#1 thing I notice trans people forget to change after just a social name change is their voicemail recording!

just a heads up: you DO need to update your social security before updating anything else… i learned this the hard way a couple years ago, and the social security system takes 24 hours to update, so dont plan on getting a new ID/drivers license the same day as updating your SS card

also.. PayPal is a motherfucker when it comes to updating your name. i STILL get random emails with my deadname attached even tho my info appears to be up-to-date on their site
