We like to have fun at Mr Burger. And giving someone burgers for life if they change their last name to ‘Burger’ seems about the most fun thing we can do.

So we’re doing it, and here are the details.

How to enter:

– Change your last name to ‘Burger’ via this handy form

Men, women & gender non-specific over the age of 18 can enter. We’ll even cover the application fee, once you’ve done the deed.

– Send us an email with a copy of the name change confirmation from the Australian Government.

– There can be more than one winner, it’s not just the first person to change their name!

– "Free Burgers for Life" constitutes 7 free "Mr Burger" burgers a week (per person)

Surely somebody from the OzBargain community will Broden this!

THis has now been cancelled by the Vic Government

        sounds like you'd be stuck with it for a year!

        On the change of name form:

        Multiple changes
        A person may only change their name once in a 12 month
        period and 3 times in their lifetime (subject to the discretion
        of the Registrar).

        • strangeloops66 on 28/06/2016 - 18:58

          You have the form now fill it in ;)

          @strangeloops66:

          There's one more condition…. again, from the form itself:

          The success of your application will require you to:
          • provide a clear reason for your chosen name

          I'm not sure how the real reason would go down at the Registry!

      someone go to the store location. find the first homeless guy nearby. tell them about the deal. pay for their name change.

      ultimate "give a man a burger feed him for a day. change a mans name to burger feed him for a lifetime"

  • cheepo on 28/06/2016 - 15:24

    Most expensive burger is the Mr. Double for $15.
    This Burger everyday for a week would normally cost you $105.00
    The fee to change your name is $101.40.
    You're already up after one week of eating burgers.
    Disclaimer: Money you save on burgers may need to go towards gym membership and higher health insurance.

    • yessum on 28/06/2016 - 15:26

        My breakdown is for those who want to take up the offer temporarily. You'll need to pay the fee once you've had enough of eating burgers (or realise it was a bad choice) and want your original name back.

        Also, incase another store has a similar offer and you require to make another name change.

    • ChickenTalon on 28/06/2016 - 18:21

      You also need to factor in the cost of changing your name with various govt departments and service providers (banks etc). You don't just register a name change and it flows through to anywhere else.

      Just about everywhere does it free if you're changing your name at the time of being married. But not if if you're simply changing your name for another reason. So you need to add in all the costs of many certified copies of the name change certificates, certified copies of your ID documents and replacement costs for them well as the fees you'll be paying for the name change. Plus your time, it will take a crapload of it

      If it was simple, we'd all have the last name burger already

    Dinner only for 7 days a week.

    A Mr Burger Burger is $10.

    $10 x 4 peeps x 7 days = $280 / week = $14,560 / year = $145k in 10 years.

    3. Change your name again to your original
    4. Get a new passport claiming that you lost your old one (from step 2)
    5. Enjoy your free burgers for the next 10 years using your step 2 passport, going overseas with your step 4 passport

    Would it work?

    I have a question for those that have experience changing their names.

    One of the questions asks why you want that particular last name. How good of a reason do you really need? What if you just like it?
