Name change due to marriage problem
« on: January 19, 2017, 07:47:47 PM »
How does the headline sound like ;) that is what happens when you don't put a period...:)
BH everything is great!


In any case my wife finally got her new passport with our married name when I realized I booked a ticket (air Berlin if it makes a difference) with her maiden name....

Anyone has a experience?

Iv'e had the reverse (married name on ticket, maiden on passport) and a quick show of marriage license did the trick. I'd assume if you have proof that the name on the reservation is hers, there shouldn't be a problem

I'm not a big believer in changing names. DW kept her maiden name.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I wasn't either. Till DW lost her license. Went to replace it, and they needed the marriage license for proof of ID. Got the new license and it had my last name on there. It kinda happened by accident...lol

When DW went to get a new Israeli passport, a few years after we were married, they wanted to issue it with my last name (we were married there, and apparently they just change the name by default). So she had them change her name back to her maiden name, before issuing the passport, to match everything else.

Thanks
I'm glad your concerns were addressed but your should probably see if people are talking about their experiences with a TSA agent and getting through security or actually getting onto an international flight. I assume the prior would be simple when flying domestic.

seriously, what happened?

They told her because the marriage license is 6 years old she has to pay 150€ to change the name...By the ticketing counter.

She thought I will fight it thru the phone but meanwhile the flight closed.

Now she rebooked for tomorrow with a 150€ fee for the name change...
