Married last name on passport but maiden name on green card

Our take

Navigating name discrepancies during travel can be tricky, especially when your foreign passport reflects your married last name while your U.S. green card and driver’s license display your maiden name. You might wonder if this could pose issues at immigration upon entering the U.S. Since your flight tickets match your passport, it’s essential to carry your marriage certificate to demonstrate the name change. This documentation can help clarify any confusion for immigration officials, making your travel experience smoother and more enjoyable. Stay prepared and adventurous!

My last name in my home country is now different (married last name) compared to my last name in the US (maiden last name). I haven’t changed my last name to my married name in the US just yet. Would this cause an issue when entering the US via immigration? My flight tickets match my passport and I plan to carry my marriage certificate.

Essentially I have:

- foreign passport with married last name

- US green card with maiden last name

- US drivers license with maiden last name
