Hi all,

With my "anniversary" of filing I751 fast approaching I am wondering if there will be any problems with me still having a passport in my maiden name. My greencard and all other documents are in my married name, yet I haven't changed my passport just yet.

Will USCIS give me a I551 stamp in my passport if it's in my maiden name?

Will I be able to get a DL in my married name with a I551 stamp in a passport with my maiden name?

Would be great if someone with experience in this particular field could share his/her advise.

Thanks.

Tanja

My wife's going to have that problem, too -- in fact, she renewed her passport this past summer in her maiden name because Colombian women generally do not change their name, at least on official documents, when they get married.

For what it's worth, my thought is that as long as you have the marriage certificate in tow, there shouldn't be a problem.

Meh

I really hope it all goes well and I will get my DL renewed.... I'd be completely lost without it in this part of the country. Oh well, still a couple of months time till then though, hopefully I'll be approved and card in hand by then.
