Eligibility and steps for changing primary account holder responsibility.

Solution

If you would like to change your name on your account, or you need to give someone else responsibility for your account, we can assist you. First, read the eligibility requirements for making the changes, then see the steps below that when you are ready to proceed. 

 

When can I change my name on my account?

If the change pertains to one of the following:

  • Marriage - You may change your last name or middle initial, if applicable. (Marriage license required)
  • Divorce - You may change your last name or middle initial, if applicable. (Divorce decree required)
  • Legal name change (Court order required)
  • Misspelling (Government-issued photo ID required) 

When can I give someone else account responsibility?

The following scenarios qualify customers to change account responsibility:

  • Death of account holder when the account is going to be assumed by the spouse/domestic partner or immediate family member.
  • Disability of the account holder, which requires the account to be assumed by the spouse/domestic partner or immediate family member.
  • Account holder is moving and the account is going to be assumed by an ex-spouse/domestic partner, immediate family member, or roommate currently listed as an authorized user on the account.

Accounts are only eligible for a responsibility change if there are telephone number(s) and/or video equipment that will be assumed by the new account holder. If a Change of Responsibility or Name Change is not applicable and you need further assistance with the change to your account, please contact Customer Service.
