To change your last name on your Apple Card, you will need to directly contact an Apple Card Specialist. This process typically requires you to provide legal documentation to verify your name change.
Steps to Update Your Name on Apple Card
Updating your name on your Apple Card is a straightforward process that prioritizes security and legal verification. It ensures that your financial information remains accurate and tied to your current legal identity.
1. Contact an Apple Card Specialist
The primary step is to reach out to Apple Card support. Unlike some other profile changes, a name change on a financial product like the Apple Card cannot be done through self-service settings within the Wallet app or Apple ID portal. This is due to the sensitive nature of financial accounts and the need for legal verification.
- How to contact: You can usually find the contact information for Apple Card support through the Wallet app on your iPhone (tap your Apple Card, then the three dots icon, and look for "Message" or "Call"). Alternatively, you can visit the official Apple Support website and search for Apple Card contact options.
2. Prepare Legal Documentation
When you contact the specialist, be prepared for them to request legal documentation proving your name change. This is a standard requirement for financial institutions to comply with regulations and prevent fraud.
- Examples of acceptable documents may include:
- Marriage Certificate
- Divorce Decree
- Court Order for Name Change
- Updated Government-Issued ID (e.g., Driver's License, Passport) reflecting the new name, alongside a document showing the change.
It is highly recommended to have a copy ready to be sent in when you make the request with them. This proactive step can significantly speed up the process.
