AFTER I RETURNED TO THE STATES ON JULY 3RD I WENT TO CHANGE MY DRIVERS LICENSE. I SHOWED THE LADY MY ORIGINAL MARRIAGE LICENSE WITH THE TRANSLATION. SHE TOLD ME THAT THEY DO NOT ACCEPT FOREIGN MARRIAGE LICENSE/CERTIFICATES. I ASKED HER WHAT DO I DO THEN IN ORDER TO CHANGE MY LAST NAME. SHE INFORMED ME TO GET MY SOCIAL SECURITY CARD AND THEN BRING IT TO HER AND SHE CAN GIVE ME ONE THEN. I ASKED HER WHAT THE OTHER OPTION WAS AND SHE TOLD ME GO TO THE COURTHOUSE AND DO A LEGAL NAME CHANGE. ANYWAYS, I WENT TO THE SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE AND SHOWED THEM MY MARRIAGE LICENSE. AFTER A BIT OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO IT SEEMS SHE TOLD ME SHE HAS TO SEND A COPY OF IT TO THE DISTRIC OFFICE TO HAVE THEM APPROVE IT. SO I AM HOPING THEY WILL APPROVE IT. IF NOT, THEN I MIGHT AS WAIT UNTIL HE GETS HERE AND GET REMARRIED. DOING A LEGAL NAME CHANGE AT THE COURTHOUSE WOULD MEAN ORDERING FORMS ONLINE SINCE THE COURTHOUSE DOES NOT TOO MUCH BULL!!
I AM MARRIED DANG IT.

HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCE THIS??

nope. married first, applied for SSN in married name, as well as other supporting docs.. oly have to redo her passport. and never experienced the cap lock on and not noticing either.

what do you mean by *REMARRIED* ? If your marriage is recognized legally, then there should be some way around this. Many people have been married internationally, and should not pose a problem. Could just be your DMX being idiotic. Hopefully someone will come along who has experience with this.


I would think obtaining the ss card with your new name on it will help with completing the license change.

yes I guess the DMV is idiotic about this. I need to call another one and see what they tell me. I am anxious to have my name changed legally. I used my married name on all the forms sent in to uscis. The lady at the ss office even had me to sign my married name to the application for a new card. I sure hope the social security office accepts my foreign marriage license and sends me my new card with my married name.
