Hi Everyone,

I wasn't too worried about this until I just got my NOA2 today in only 88 days! I have sent off for my new drivers license in my married name way back at the beginning of June but with Canada Post being locked out, its lost in the mail and I can't apply for my new passport in my married name until I receive it. I went to the registry office to send off for it again but they have extended the temporary licenses that were issued in June to 60 days so I'm still waiting for my driver's license.

So I have a couple of questions and I'm hoping that someone here could help me with them.

1. Can I apply for my passport with just the piece of paper that I got from the registry office or must it be the actual card itself?

2. If I can't do that, when I send off my things to NVC can I use my current passport in my maiden name that doesn't expire until January 2012 and then at my interview they will just adjust it in their system and take my new passport?

Any help is appreciated. :)

Thanks Marilyn. Did you fill out all of your paperwork in your maiden name or married name?

On a good note, I got my driver's license in the mail today! :) So I will be sending off for my Passport and hopefully *crossing fingers* I get it before I need to send off all of my documents for EP. If not, I will send my current passport and hope I don't hit any roadblocks along the way.

Thanks!

Same here (changed passport during process). I used my married name from start to finish (even though everything was still in my maiden name) and we were fine. I just submitted my marriage certificate.
