Hello, 

 

This is my first time posting but I really need advice on what to do or what people have done in the past. My husband got his social security card (YAY!) but the two last letters of his name were cut off. Like many people from other countries his FULL LEGAL NAME includes his mom and dad's names so the characters are as follows: 

 

First name: XXXXX(5 characters)

Middle name: none

Last Name: XXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX (23 characters) 

 

I want to know what I need to do to correct this. I want him to be able to get a drivers license etc and we really don't want to change his name while he has a green card. Would it be possible to take the spaces out of his name ? or would there be issues with that? I really want him to thrive in the U.S. and to be able to work but this policy is just absolutely ridiculous. 21 characters and possibly forcing people to change their names. I just don't get it. 

 

Also, I don't want to have issues filing taxes. does anyone know if this will be an issue? apparently the IRS only uses the first 5 letters of the last name but can someone confirm. 

 

Thank you again.
