@Mark *****

she stated that she changed the name associated with her SS#, which means, amongst other things, her taxes are filed under that name and her financials are under that name. That’s not an “automatic” name change due to marriage. One needs to make such changes. From what she has stated, she changed her name on most documents and in accounts and did not change her passport. Yes, a passport is SUPPOSED TO BE one’s legal name. That’s what I said. 🤣🤣🤣

@Frances *******

my ex and I hyphenated (obviously not my fb name). We both chose to keep our names post-divorce due to our children. If you’re planning to move overseas, the best thing to do is to get all your documents in order before you leave. This might not be the only issue you might otherwise face. I was shocked at the number of last-minute things that came up and I didn’t even need to worry about a name change :-). Sounds like you’re making the best decision. Best of luck to you!

@Mark *****

her legal name is her married name. One cannot open an account with any name other than one’s legal name.

Sounds like you have an improper passport, period. If your married name is what is linked to your SS#, then that’s your legal name. Your passport is currently basically fraudulent. You need to get it fixed or legally change your name back to your maiden then change all records.

@Kool ******

the most technically accurate answer.

As others have said, applying at home should allay any concerns. If you apply at home, they will check your history at that point and either approve or not your request. You’ll know before you’ve left your door.

@Nongnuch *******

did you miss the part about the fact that he changed his original wording?

@Ruud *****************

this will be my last response on this. He clearly knows he does not need to do a 90-day report. That’s precisely the problem. 🤣🤣🤣. To get a residency certificate one DOES need to do a 90-day report. If one is never in the country for 90 days, they don’t do a report. He needs the certificate to get a license. How to get his license without the report is the only question. You didn’t answer half.

thank you. You made me a bit nervous. You were saying something new that I had not heard. I do a lot of traveling and that would have created problems.
