Hello,

 

I have been married for 4 years and am just now getting around to updating my passport to my married last name with my country of origin as I had recently paid for a 10 year passport and wanted to get as much mileage out of it as possible. I am heading in to get it updated to my married name tomorrow and it's just occurring to me now that I might need to let USCIS know of my passport change. DO I need to do this? If so how? Thanks for any help.

I was in the same boat as you! I just updated my passport to my married name in August and did not have to notify USCIS of this change. On all of my recent USCIS paperwork I put my married name as my current name, and my maiden name under "other names used", just like one of the other commenters mentioned ☺️
