Due to life events or legal updates, you may need to change your name on your Hingham Savings accounts. We honor name changes for the following reasons: Marriage, Divorce, Legal Name or Misspelled Name.

To request a name change on your accounts please complete the request form and upload the required documentation or visit one of our branch locations.

Required Documentation:

As you fill out the request form linked below, please be sure to include the appropriate documentation:

  • Marriage: Copy of Marriage certificate or signed social security card

  • Divorce: Copy of divorce decree stating you may resume the use of your maiden name or name confirmed by a court or signed social security card

  • Legal Name: Name change document confirmed by a court or signed social security card

  • Misspelled Name: Driver's license or signed social security card

Please note: It is your responsibility to legally change your name with Social Security before filling out a name change request form. Failure to legally change your name will delay the name change process. 

If you are not looking to change your name, but want to add a new signer to an account or have any other questions about the process, please email or call us at 781-749-2200.
