In addition to above, if her passport is in the maiden name and the GC is in the married name, then your wife should also take the marriage certificate along.

No, you don't have to change the passport you have from your country. A lot of people never change passports. Some consulates allow you to add a notation into your foreign passports about the new name; you may want to check on this with Brazilian consulate. But as I said a lot of people never change passports.

She will require some sort of notarized permission to take the child without the father.

See travel.state.gov for details.

Do you need to take a marriage cert with you if the passport has been amended by the embassy to show the name change?

Why?

Passport would then match other documents, no?

In my case I couldn't change my married name to my passport my country does not allow name changes so all they wanted to do was add my married name to my maiden name and it would be incredibly long so I had to leave my passport in my maiden name .. and I never have a problem despite my greencard has my married name. :star:
