Changing Your Name

Oct 18, 2021, 09:41 AM by MOSERS
I need to change my name - I got married. How do I do so? Thanks!!

If you are currently an active state employee, you do not have to provide any documentation for these changes. Just contact a MOSERS benefit counselor at (800) 827-1063 or (573) 632-6100 so that they can verify your identity and update your name in our system.

However, any member who is currently receiving a pension benefit of any kind or who is an inactive-vested member must submit proof to change their name or marital status.

Proof of name change is also required:

  • For any member when applying for retirement or after retirement if the name or information provided on the retirement application or other form differs from our records.
  • For any member when applying for a refund of employee contributions.
  • For any beneficiary applying for survivor or remaining guaranteed payments.

We accept documents of proof in the format of photo or electronic copy. You can mail, e-mail, upload through myMOSERS account, or fax them to us.
