Hi everyone,

Not too sure if this is in the right place or not.

I just received my EAD/AP combo card, which is in my married name. I am also going to be going for driver's permit within the next two weeks which will also be in my married name. My question is, when is a good time to change my name on my Social Security card

Is there a real urgency for a name change? I'm also applying to jobs right now which require the SS # to look you up, I suppose. They do ask for other names used on job application forms , so I'm assuming they can look you up by your married or maiden name which means it's not too much of an issue if your SS card is in your maiden name? Is is better to change your name after the whole AOS process and once you've received your GC?

Thank-you.

I changed my SS card soon after I received my EAD/AP card. I wanted to get my driving license in my married name (less hassle then - but I didn't manage to get my driving license but that's another story - I hope to get it this week) and it helped if my SS card name matched my EAD/AP card name.
