I have a very close friend who wants to apply for Tourist Visa in Brazil. She is recently divorced and her passport has her married name. She wants to change to her maiden name before applying for the Tourist Visa. Also, IF the timing does not work to get a new passport in time for her trip (June 30) should she book her flight with her married name or book the flight with her maiden name and carry her Brazilian divorce papers with her, for what ever reason. As for the Tourist Visa interview - should she make application using her married name or maiden name and carry her divorce papers with her to the interview? Ideally all docs should have the same last name (passport, application, flight tix). Also, if anyone has information on HOW to make a change in Brazil for a Brazilian passport please provide. Many thanks! Muito obrigado.

ADVICE? We have not scheduled her Tourist Visa interview yet. She submitted her DS-160 with her maiden name although her passport is with married name. SHOULD we submit a new DS-160 with her married name to match that of her passport? When I book her flight the tickets will match her passport (married name). Embassy interviewer may (probably) notice discrepancy in DS-160 application with tickets/passport. What to do?

Thanks to all VJ!!!!!

I would stick with the married name to match current passport at this point and take care of the name change paperwork after the trip.

Btw DS-160 asks for all names, so she will get a chance to mention her maiden name in "other names used" section.

** UPDATE **

Sent inquiry to RacifeVisa@state.com on this subject. Their response as quoted:

"Good morning.

She can bring her divorce decree with her for the interview, however she needs a passport that matches her current name.

Sincerely,"

Good news and hopefully helpful to others.

Best of luck to all.
