Foreign passport is in maiden name and the green card is in married name. Airline tickets in maiden name to match passport. What potential problems exist for returning to US? Should a copy of marriage certificate be carried just in case? Does it need to be a certified copy? Any input will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

You are fine. Just carry a copy of your marriage certificate and you will be fine. No it does not need to be certified.

The first few times i left the country i didnt bring my marriage certificate and the only place i had any issue with was leaving out of the U.K. So now i just carry it with me and no one else has ever asked for it.

Have Fun with your travels.

You can also book tickets in your greencard name. You only need a government issued photo-ID to travel. I booked in married name though my passport said maiden because CBP rules state they need the ticket to match photo government-ID. That can be drivers licence, passport or GC.

Whatever you do, just carry a photocopy of your marriage licence as proof of a link between one name and the others.. "just in case"
