What is the proper way to format Joint Names and Joint Salutations?
The standard format for joint names and salutations for married couples with the same last name is as follows: Joint Name: Mr. and Mrs. John H. Doe Joint Salutation: Mr. and Mrs. Doe There are, of course, many variations needed when the couple doesn’t share a last name, the names are too long to fit into the fields, or where either or both of the spouses or partners have titles of honor or profession. Please refer to the Joint Names and Joint Salutations document provided by Records Management for additional formatting guidelines. Also remember that any stated preference by one or both of the entities is preferred over any standard format. If someone requests a certain joint name and salutation format, use that in the Joint Name and Joint Salutation fields. Be sure to included a comment in the comment field of the Marital Information window that the couple specifically requested that name format. Last rev.
