Hi all.

 

I got my social security card before marriage. And I changed my last name after marriage.

 

So I went to SSA and updated my last name, but was told that they would update my name in their system, but the last name on my physical card remains maiden name.

 

Now that I have got my green card, should I make another trip to SSA and have the "Work only with DHS authorization" removed and get a card with updated name?

 

I've been researching here about the topic and got different answers. Just want to make sure whether I should go or not?

How did you manage to do that? Did you do it by mail sending your originals to SSA?

No I just walked into their office with my GC and they updated it right there. I received the updated card about a week or 2 after.

This was back in 2014 so the process may have changed.
