Should I buy flight tickets under Passport name or EAD/AP card name?

[I love San Diego 18]

Hello,

My wife came here and we got married and she changed her name. Her only ID with her new name is her EAD/AP card. No drivers license or state ID yet. We are going to fly domestic, should I buy flight tickets with her passport name or will her EAD/AP card be acceptable identification at the airport? Or should she bring her passport, marriage certificate showing name change, and EAD/AP card?

Thank you

Always book airline tickets in the passport name.

Bring a certified copy of your marriage certificate if the name on your green card/EAD+AP does not match due to marriage.

Agree with Hypnos. Get the tickets in your passport name, keep your marriage certificate with you in case USCIS check your tickets upon re-entry.

Good Luck!

Actually since this is a Domestic flight, it doesn't matter what name you use as long as you have a Government issued Photo ID under that name. For international, the name should match the Passport as the Ticket Agent uses that to verify that you are eligible to travel to the destination.

Alright! Is the ead/ap card sufficient identification?

Yes.
