Changing Name from maiden to married name (except GC and passport)

[kyle francine 0]

Hi everyone,

I am reading a lot of stuff of and it confuses me already...

Is is true that it is okay to change my SSN, DL, state id, and bank info's to my married name and let my GC and my Philippine Passport as my maiden name? Will this cause me a problem if I will have my vacation back to the Philippines next year and coming back here in the US?

Please help

I don't think it will be a problem.

For international travel you use the government issued ID from the country that you are a citizen of--i.e. your passport. So the tickets MUST be in the name on your passport. You have the GC in the same name so there is no issue when returning as both names are the same. Just show the passport and GC and you are good to go. A woman can have several names. For example: First Middle Maiden, First Middle Married, First Maiden Married, or like my Mother Middle Maiden Married. As long as you have an ID with that name on it then it is one of your legal names. That is why the forms have the question "Other names used".

I only need my marriage license to change my maiden name for my SSN? I assume that of all, I need to change my SSN card first or i can do DL, state id and bank info first?

It's not a problem, however, on our last vacation to the Philippines, on two of our flight legs we could not book our seats it was left to the airlines and most likely because my wife's name was different we were not seated together. Fortunately not a 10 hour flight, just a hop. Something small but still not convenient. We have a vacation to San Francisco so we are going to the Philippines embassy to report our marriage and order a passport with her married name.
