Traveling to Hawaii

[EllaC 190]

Hello dear VJ-ers!

I have a little situation here: I got married and I filed for AOS a week ago. I got the NOA texts and emails on the 11th of August, I'm still waiting on the hard copy in the mail. Now... our problem is: We booked our honeymoon to Hawaii starting on the 4th of September, but my husband put my new name(his name) on the reservations(flight, hotel). My passport doesn't match it(has my maiden name) and I don't have other IDs in my married name. Is it ok to bring my NOA hard copy and the marriage certificate?

I'm planning on going to DMV to get a state issued photo ID card and since we booked 3 weeks from now... it should give us plenty of time to do that. But what if we can't get an ID card(just supposing)... will I encounter problems at the airport?

Thank you so much in advance! Sorry if I explained myself poorly!

We have the same situations, actually my husband booked me a ticket today gg to Las Vegas for my birthday on October. And then we realize that he booked my married name but I don't have my gc yet, only noa1. So what he did, he called the airlines and changed my name to my passport name. We don't want any problems at the airport so we just followed my passport name first, while my greencard still on process.

Oh, thank you very much! I will do that if I don't get my ID card until then.

Hawaii is a US state; your flight is a domestic one.

It's like you bought a ticket to Disneyland and now hat you are inside the park you are afraid that somebody is going to check your ticket every time you go on one of the rides.

They won't.

Yeah, but I think they want to see an ID that matches the name on the reservations. That's my problem. But I have 2 solutions for it now. Either I get my ID card, or I just change my name on the reservations by calling the airline.

Or just show TSA your marriage certificate with your passport.

I have been to Hawaii 1 month ago, and you could have problem in the airport, to be sure is better to change your name with the airline, about the hotel I don't think so you have any problem, good luck
