     2. Click on the "Me" tab> "Document Records" > "Add".  Click on the drop-down arrow for "Document Type" and select: "Proof of Name Change".  Attach the updated social security card with our new name on it.  Please be sure the document is in color.  Then click the "Done" button in the upper right corner.
