Hi again!

Both our Minato Kuyakusho and American embassy did not know the answer to this question....

- Is changing my wife's (Japanese citizen) passport to include (my name in parenthesis) all we need to do keep her name in Japan, and allow her to take my name in the USA (I'm USAC)????

- What other processes are involved?

- Can you recommend any sites/information/people that may know the answer to this question? Please PM us!

Background: We'd like to avoid the paperwork that goes with changing names in Tokyo, so troublesome; but the fact that we cannot get quality information from the "sources" is very stressful; is it better to simply take my name on her Japanese passport and go through the mess of changing bank accts, etc. etc. By the way, we are planning to exit Japan early 2010!

Can anyone help?

Thanks!
