Thanks, but as I mentioned it's not a maiden/married name situation so I don't know if a name change decree will have the same effect as a marriage certificate.

It's exactly the same. A marriage decree can serve as a name change document, exactly like the one you are proposing to get from the courts.

Not correct! I traveled with maiden name in my passport and married name on my GC. Just had the marriage certificate with my, and no problems at all. Then, I changed my last name in my country and got back with matching ticket and passport.

The best thing is to call the airline. But generally, it is possible to travel with different last names on your documents, IF you have the proof (like MC).

I have my maiden name on my pp and married on my GC, I always book with the name listed on my pp and never have had to show my marriage certificate to prove I am the same person. It does take them a little longer to input it into their system but it's not an issue.

To Ian H : no she would not have problem entering or exiting her home country because she is a citizen of that country and as long as she can show why the gc name is different to her pp then she will be fine. Since she is only omitting a name it should not be as big as issue as an entirely different name.

For example on my birth certificate I have my first name, 2 middle names and 2 last names. However I only use my first name, first middle name (sometimes I use both) and 2nd last name. In Australia I do not have to file a legal name change to omit those names, I similar write a letter explaining why I omit the names when making legal documents and this is accepted.

If a similar practice is accepted in Brazil then it should not be a problem.
