Divorced mother’s marriage certificate needed?

[Bzlibem 111]

Hi all,

 

I’m putting together all supporting documents for my mom’s AOS and I’m wondering if we need her marriage certificate? She’s divorced but still uses my father’s last name and never changed it back to her maiden name. Do we need her marriage certificate to prove a legal name change?

 

Thanks!

I do not think you need her MC. Her current name is her current legal name.

You can mention her maiden name under "other name used."

The reason why I’m thinking about attaching the marriage certificate is because her maiden name, not her married last name, is listed on my birth certificate

Is the name on her passport the same as in your birth certificate?

No. It’s her maiden name on my birth certificate

Then include a photocopy of the marriage certificate as proof of name change and as mentioned by the previous poster, include her maiden name in the "other names" field.
