Here are the steps you can take, along with tips to make the process smoother:\n\n---\n\n## What you should do\n\n1. **Log in to your AARP account**\n   - Go to the AARP website and sign in.\n   - Navigate to your *Profile* or *Account Information* section.\n   - See if there\u2019s an option to edit your name or relationship. If there is, update it there. Not all changes can be made this way, depending on what the mistake is.  \n\n2. **Contact AARP Member Services**\n   - Call toll-free: **1-888\u2010OUR-AARP (1-888-687-2277)** between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM Eastern Time, Monday through Friday. ([aarp-membership.com](https://www.aarp-membership.com/customer-service/?utm_source=openai))\n   - If calling isn\u2019t convenient, you may also reach out through the AARP website\u2019s Help Center or via live chat if available. ([aarp-membership.com](https://www.aarp-membership.com/customer-service/?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **Provide needed documentation**\n   - If there\u2019s a name change (due to marriage, divorce, or other reason), you might be asked to send proof like a marriage certificate, court order, or updated ID.  \n   - For relationship corrections (for example, \u201cspouse,\u201d \u201cpartner,\u201d \u201cparent/child\u201d), you might need to clarify what relationship was intended. Sometimes a document confirming your status (marriage certificate or legal partnership agreement) might help.\n\n4. **Correct the error\u2019s nature**\n   - Misspellings are usually the easiest to fix.\n   - If the relationship label is wrong (for example, \u201cspouse\u201d instead of \u201cpartner\u201d or \u201cchild\u201d), explain clearly what needs to be changed.\n   - If the title (Mr., Mrs., Dr., etc.) is incorrect and you want it removed or changed, you can request that too. AARP has changed titles on cards before. ([community.aarp.org](https://community.aarp.org/t5/Membership/Format-of-my-name-is-different-on-new-membership-card/m-p/2462673/highlight/true?utm_source=openai))\n\n5. **Print or request a new card (if needed)**\n   - Once the correction is made, you may be able to print a corrected membership card from the website. ([community.aarp.org](https://community.aarp.org/t5/Membership/Format-of-my-name-is-different-on-new-membership-card/m-p/2462673/highlight/true?utm_source=openai))\n   - If you want a physical card mailed, you can ask for a replacement. Sometimes there\u2019s a wait of a few weeks. ([community.aarp.org](https://community.aarp.org/t5/Membership/Format-of-my-name-is-different-on-new-membership-card/m-p/2462673/highlight/true?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## What to expect\n\n- The correction process can take a little time\u2014usually a few business days, but mailing a new card might take 2\u20134 weeks. ([community.aarp.org](https://community.aarp.org/t5/Membership/Format-of-my-name-is-different-on-new-membership-card/m-p/2462673/highlight/true?utm_source=openai))  \n- If the error is with the temporary card or digital card, correcting the account might immediately update what\u2019s displayed online or in print. The physical card often takes longer. ([community.aarp.org](https://community.aarp.org/t5/Membership/Format-of-my-name-is-different-on-new-membership-card/m-p/2462673/highlight/true?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can walk you through exactly how to submit a correction for your specific error or I can pull up the form or page you need. Do you want me to show that?"

Log in to Your AARP Account  \n- Visit **AARP.org** and sign in.  \n- If you don\u2019t have your account set up for online access yet, you may need to create or verify it using your membership info.\n\n### 2. Navigate to Account / Profile Details  \n- Once logged in, click your name or profile icon and select **\u201cMy Account\u201d**.  \n- Under that, find **\u201cAccount Details\u201d** or \u201cPersonal Information.\u201d ([community.aarp.org](https://community.aarp.org/t5/General-Help/I-need-to-make-an-address-change/td-p/2543128?utm_source=openai))  \n\n### 3. Look for the Relevant Section to Edit  \nDepending on what needs correcting, go to:\n\n- **Name**: If there\u2019s a legal name change or a spelling mistake.  \n- **Spouse / Partner / Secondary Member** (relationship): If the relationship listed is wrong or needs updating. ([community.aarp.org](https://community.aarp.org/t5/General-Help/Spouses/m-p/2541866?utm_source=openai))  \n\nClick **\u201cEdit\u201d** in the appropriate section, make the needed corrections, and **Save**.  \n\n### 4. Add or Remove a Secondary Member  \nIf the \u201crelationship\u201d issue involves adding or replacing a spouse/partner/other household adult, here\u2019s what to do:\n\n- Go to **My Account \u2192 Account Details**.  \n- Scroll to the **Spouse/Partner** or **Secondary Member** section, and click **Edit**.  \n- Enter the new person's info (name, date of birth, address if needed) or remove someone if no longer applicable. Note that the other person may need to register/log in themselves. ([community.aarp.org](https://community.aarp.org/t5/Membership/Update-Secondary-member/m-p/2525255?utm_source=openai))  \n\n### 5. Provide Supporting Documents (If Required)  \n- If you\u2019re changing your legal name (due to marriage, divorce, etc.), you may be asked for documentation such as a marriage certificate, court order, or updated government ID.  \n- For relationship updates, you may need proof in some cases (e.g., legal spouse, partnership).  \n\n### 6. Request a New Card (If Necessary)  \n- Once the information is corrected, you can request a **replacement card** (physical).  \n- Also, you can usually print a **digital or temporary card** online through your profile for immediate use. ([community.aarp.org](https://community.aarp.org/t5/General-Help/replacement-cards/td-p/2475679?utm_source=openai))  \n\n### 7. Contact AARP for Help If You Can\u2019t Make the Changes Yourself  \nIf you can\u2019t edit the name or relationship, or if something is broken:\n\n- Call **1-888-OUR-AARP (1-888-687-2277)** during business hours. ([seniorsinfo.org](https://seniorsinfo.org/aarp-faq?utm_source=openai))  \n- Use the \u201cContact Us\u201d or help/chat feature on AARP\u2019s website to ask a representative to update it.  \n- Be ready to provide membership number, current address, and any supporting documents.  \n\n---\n\n## What to Expect & Timing\n\n- Once you make the correction, the online account and digital card (or temporary card) may update immediately.  \n- Physical card replacements generally take **3-4 weeks** in the mail after the update. ([community.aarp.org](https://community.aarp.org/t5/General-Help/replacement-cards/td-p/2475679?utm_source=openai))  \n- If adding a secondary member, that person usually gets their own card sent automatically once listed. ([community.aarp.org](https://community.aarp.org/t5/General-Help/Spouses/m-p/2541866?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me exactly what\u2019s wrong on your card (e.g., misspelled name, wrong relationship label, spouse listed incorrectly), I can walk you through *your specific corrections*. Do you want to go through that?"
