Congratulations on your marriage! To change your name with us, you can either complete the
Notice of Change of Name, or by writing a letter to TIAA that includes the following:
- Previous name (printed or typed) and previous signature
- New name (printed or typed) and new signature
- Social Security number or your contract number
Note: Supporting documentation is required to effect a name change. Supporting documentation could be one of the following: marriage license, divorcee decree, adoption, court order. A notarized or certified copy of the court document will be sufficient proof to process a name change.
The letter should be mailed to:
TIAA
P.O. Box 1259

If you own a retail class mutual fund account, you will need to complete a new application to change the registration on your account. In addition to the revised application, also include a letter of instruction stating the change of name and a signature in both your former and new name with a signature guarantee by an official bank representative who can verify your signature to one that is on file.
