Hello guys. Am collecting my question ;

incase your able  to change name from maiden name to married name on your social security card  what happens next as still your permanent card has your maiden name and your passport, and if trying to get a driver license test will you be allowed to take the test with 2 different name on SSN and permanent residency card?   And incase you changed to marriage name on social security card will you be able to return the name shown on ur permanent residency card back??   Any ideas pls

You dont have to change the name on the GC, I am in the same situation. Andit doesnt hurt except when you start working and fill out the I9 and they verify your eligibility to work it may come as a mismatch but it is easily fixed by letting your employer know about it.

Oh really, sorry about that. I was in the exact same situation and they let me do it, I renewed my license with no issue for another 10 years.

Maybe try to go to another DMV or speak with a supervisor
