Hi,

My Colombian wife and I just got married here in the States and will be filing for AOS soon.

In the meantime my wife also wants to change her last name to mine. We have been trying to get an answer from the Colombian Embassy in Miami if we could go there with our Florida marriage license and change the name in her passport but it seems impossible to get an answer by email or phone.

I was wondering if anyone here is from Colombia and has done that?

Thanks

you don't have to have your maiden name changed on your colombian passport, if you have to traval there be sure to buy the tickets with the same name on your passport, and if you want to change the name in colombia if you take the trip,when you apply for the AOS FILE IT IN YOUR NEW MARRIED NAME so when you get your permanent resident card in your married name, my wifes colombian passport is in her maiden name,she travels to colombia every year, when she gets her citizenship she will apply for a us passport.

Does she have to show her marriage license at the airport? My wife does since the name on her passport and her GC do not match.

May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!

I would like to hear if anyone has done it. I fly for American and since we use our American Airlines travel benefits we dont have the luxury of changing my wifes name on the boarding pass. The name on the boarding pass must be her married last name. So if anyone could tell us how to change it that would be great.
