HitchSwitch review (2026): what it does, who it's for, what it costs
The short answer
HitchSwitch publishes four base prices from $49.99 to $129.99, with mailed materials beginning at the $79.99 Full Service level.
Its FAQ covers marriage, divorce with the former name stated in the decree, and court-ordered legal or gender-related changes.
The terms give a 30-day refund window less shipping and processing charges; the pages checked do not say how long account access lasts.
What it is
HitchSwitch is a self-serve name-change service organized into four packages. The service generates pre-filled forms and instructions, provides online account tools, and adds physical materials, envelopes, support levels, passport photos, or photo products as the selected tier rises.
How you get in
The buyer picks a package online, completes checkout, and uses the EasyForm flow and account dashboard. Delivery is a downloadable PDF for Print At Home. Full Service, Platinum, and Platinum+ are described as arriving by mail in a personalized folder.

What it does well

- Four package levels separate self-printing from mailed materials and additional assistance.

- The company says it does not collect three sensitive identifier types.

Who should pick it
A buyer may select HitchSwitch when mailed organization, postage-ready envelopes, and a choice of assistance levels are part of the desired package. The higher tiers also suit someone who specifically wants delivered passport photos or the listed photo merchandise alongside the name-change forms.
Who should look elsewhere
Someone seeking a smaller digital bundle without cross-sold physical extras can compare the entry offer against more focused kits. A buyer who makes policy visibility a deciding factor may also want written clarification, because the pages reviewed do not state how long account access lasts.
How Name Change Works differs
Name Change Works centers the finished digital paperwork: a pre-filled SS-5, an available state DMV form, passport instructions, a sequenced checklist, and letters for the organizations the buyer names. Pre-stamped envelopes, passport pictures, concierge contact, and petition services are outside the kit, and paper delivery is not currently for sale. A form turned back by an agency can be made again free during the first year after purchase. Completed forms are not inspected before filing.
