Name Change Tracker (Australia)
Government agencies are the start, not the end. This is the Australia list of who to notify after a name change, grouped in the order that avoids repeat trips. Tick items as you go — progress stays on this device.
Need the letters written?
The Australia letters generator writes a ready-to-sign notification letter for every bank, employer and provider you tick — in your browser, nothing uploaded.

Work top to bottom. The government group is ordered so each step produces the document the next one checks. Everything below it can be done in any order, and most of it in one afternoon with a scan of your certificate. Ticks are saved in this browser only, so use the same device or print the list when you're partway through. See the Australia overview for the government steps in detail, or the United States tracker if you live there.
Common questions
Who do I need to notify after a name change in Australia?
Government first — passport, driver licence, the tax office and the electoral roll — then money (banks, cards, pensions, insurance), work, home accounts, and travel and online programs. The list above has 27 entries; most people need 15–20 of them.
In what order should I do it?
Passport or driver licence first, because everything downstream (banks, employer, airlines) verifies against a government ID. Most people do the passport first if they have travel booked, otherwise the licence, then everything else in the same fortnight.
Where is my progress stored?
In your browser only (localStorage). Nothing is sent to us. Clear your browser data and it's gone — print the list if you want a paper copy.
Is this the same list as the US tracker?
Same structure, different institutions. The Australia list replaces the US agencies (Social Security, IRS, DMV) with Australia's, and the order reflects which document unlocks which.
