i was wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation, as i am a spanish citizen, when i get married my surname will not change to my husbands even in my passport the only thing that changes is the prefix, is there any point changing my name to my husbands if my passport which is probably my main form for proof of identity wont change? can i apply for my social security in my name and not have to change anything.. im just wondering how it will work

thanks

What name is on your immigration document, i.e. I-94, I-766, I-551?

RM 00203.210 C. Procedure - Immigration Document as Evidence of Legal Name:

When an alien applies for an SSN card, we presume the name on the immigration document is the legal name unless the applicant presents evidence of a legal name change, e.g., marriage, which occurred after the immigration document was issued.
