yes indeed. I did that last year for my wife and just booked again this year.

ticket in (maiden name)

marriage cert

green card (married name)

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

I just want to make sure I have this right...

I go on expedia or whatever, and book my tickets in my maiden name (so it matches my passport), right? And bring my marriage certificate to prove to US customs that the last name on the green card is my married one?

Seems more logical to me that you would book your tickets in the name on your green card, seeing as it is a government issued ID. Bring marriage cert to support your name change.

Meanwhile, it is possible to get your passport updated at Canadian consulate?

Yeah. A passport is an internationally recognized form of ID. A green card is just usually for the US.

I think it's Immigration who will be more interested in your names, rather than Customs.

yeah yeah yeah, all the same dudes now.

PS: yes, you've got the drill down right. :)

kevinsu: Airline rules--international travel means the passport name must match the ticket name. The marriage certificate makes the bridge for CPB from maiden (passport) to married (Green Card via marriage).

If you want to get through those nice people at the security clearance, the passport and plane ticket have to match. :yes: I whipped out the GC once I came back and wanted to clear US Customs, and had my copy of my marriage certificate as backup.

Stina, go for it -- I've done that exact same thing twice now (and a third time coming up at Christmas -- yay!) and I haven't had a problem yet. :no:
