Mine left her maiden name on her passport, everyone will understand in the long run. Try her last name as a middle and adding yours last, no hyphen.

In Arizona its hot hot hot.

We just got married and was wondering if I need to have my wife change her maiden name which will mean getting a new passport. Any advice as to what to do will be appreciated

No need. Only if she wants. I kept my maiden name. In some country or region it's impossible to change someone's last name upon marriage.

It's totally up to you and your wife!

Once I married my wife I had her get her passport Amended to show her married name with an added page inside and when she renews the passport in 5 months we will have it totally changed so her maiden name is her Middle Name and she takes on My Last-Name on the Bio Page!

Her CR1 Visa, Green Card, social security number and ID Card is already in My Last Name!
