Hi,

I am on a conditional PR currently and wanted to know how are you going to change your passport from maiden name to your married name? Does that affect when you go out of the country while your passport still on your maiden name?

Do I have to get a new passport from my embassy and have it changed to my married name?

Thanks for all your help guys!

You have a good day :yes:

You should contact the consulate of your home country in the US and ask them about the process of the name change and what you will have to do to get it done.

For example, the German consulates in the US usually accept mailed in passports and do the name change upon presentation of a certified marriage certificate, then send them back.

The other possibility is that you always carry a copy of your marriage certificate with you when you travel and use your passport until it expires, then get a new one with your new name. That should just work as well.

Many just wait until the passport needs to be re-newed to get name changed in it, or they visit passport office while overseas and some countries will amend the passport showing other name used.

You can travel fine with a passport with maiden neme, and are not required to get it changed.

To travel with maiden name in passport, just book airline tickets in maiden name, airline officials compare passport to the tickets, and if they dont match can deny passage.

Upon re-entry to the USA you use the green-card. Some carry a photo copy of marriage cert to show the name change if anyone asks.
