Pakistani man changing name after marriage

[nadia&sameer 12]

Hi,

Has anyone had the man change his last name after marriage instead of the woman? We are considering doing that as we both prefer my last name, but I don't know if he'll have any issues with Pakistan. Would he keep his Nadra/Pakistani passport as is or would he have to change everything in Pakistan to his new name? Not sure it's worth the headache of dealing with the Pakistani gov't if he'd have to do that.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

You should check with Nadra first. I don't think they will change your name on the ID card for this reason.

That's what we are thinking too. I wonder what would happen if all his info had one name here and a different name in Pakistan.

Hi, if changed, any thing when he is in Pakistan,then change every thing. If I were u, I will ask him to wait until he will be here.

Thanks for the advice. I'm getting the feeling that it will be too difficult to get his name changed in Paksitan and probably pretty costly. I think we may just decide to change my last name instead.

It is not costly to change the name for him in Pakistan , it is costly here, but if he will change at this time, it can bring some problems during the immigration process for him.Remember if u r changing ur last name in USA then u have to change ur last name on every thing u have, i.e your educational, properties,banks etc.

It is not costly here as it is changing because of marriage. I know the fees in Pakistan aren't too high, but the bribes needed to pay the government workers to actually do the work are very costly when they find out he is married to an American woman. I don't like having to pay someone to do the job the government is already paying them to do.
