I'm in the processing of filling out the petitions for my step kids.  In the Dominican Republic it is the custom of the children to carry the father's last name and mother's maiden name. My husband name is like that in all his legal documents. However, my stepchildren really don't have a lot of legal documents except for their birth certificate, so they go by the their first and father's last name. When filling out the petitions should I include the mother's maiden name as the kids last name?  My husband says yes because that's how the passport will be done in the Dominican Republic. I say just put his last name, but I'm not sure.  Does it matter?  I'm uploading a copy of the birth certificates so they will see the names of the children.  Does anyone know?
