    I assume because marriage requires a lot of documentation and an official process, whereas my name change only required my friends to sign a document I made.

      Marriage requires a license and an officiant. Name change often requires a hearing and publication in a newspaper. So, no, you’re wrong.

        “my name change only…” Did you miss that part?

        Here is what I did: https://www.gov.uk/change-name-deed-poll/make-an-adult-deed-poll

        So, no, you’re wrong.

          I think UK and US system might be different.

          In most US states you need to have a decree of name change notarized by the county clerk, or issued by a family court if. Not that hard to do, but a lot more formal and government-involved than the UK process.

            You missed the part were I said “my name change”. I have no idea about Ohio, and you didn’t seek to give clarification, you just responded like a prick.
