Hello! Im getting married in December.

so ive been reading post related to the marriage licence and certificate.

- some of then shows the maiden name, so I decided to take my husband’s last name. I wonder how this works when and where should i go ? In getting married in Palm Beach, FL. Im afraid of having problems later when i get my gc

-  other question related about taking my husbands last name:

once i get my gc (with my new married last name) if we want to travel abroad, how should we buy the tickets? Because my passport will have my maiden last name

 

thanks in advance

Plane tickets are always in the name that will be used for identification purposes 

YMMV

You just fill in the forms for your marriage license the way it asks. 

When filling out ours it asked me for my Name That was my first and last name (not my maiden name by the way previous marriage name) Nowhere did it ask if I was going to change my name. 

 

After we were married we went to the court clerk who just filled in the rest and added their seal. No new name was asked or marked. 

 

Filling for AOS we just used my new married name and switch my SSN, DL and everything to the new name with just the marriage certificate even though it did not list a new last name it still showed the marriage and that was enough.
