Hi!

Ok, confused as to what my last name would be...if you are marrying a Dominican or you are Dominican...I could use some help.

My last name: Mateo-Villanueva

His last name: Gil de la Cruz

My marriage name: ??????

THANKS! xoxo

Gente,

Necesito un pocito de ayuda con mi apellido. El apellido de mi novio es Gil de la Cruz y el mio es Mateo-Villanueva, entonces cuando nos casamos-que va ser mi nuevo apellido?

Gracias! besos

My last name: Mateo-Villanueva

His last name: Gil de la Cruz

Your name + Mateo + his first last name = (de Gil) (you use the first last name of your husband like your second last name)

This is optional, it is not required/mandatory in this country.

To change that name into your documents like collegue degree means a lot of money and if you get divorce means a lot of money again to put it back as a single woman

My college documents and degrees will have my name, not my new name. Also, I am a law student so I my practice I will just go by Mateo. But for banks, credit cards and all that jazz...Mateo de Gil it is.
