brides married to Latinos! name change

I need to know this too! I live in Florida and my FH has 2 last names as well.

Uhhhh I would check Florida laws but I am not too well versed. Some states do not even allow for changing maiden name to middle name. I would call another DMV and ask the protocol. Hyphens I know they allow.

My ex husband had the same issue. The first last name is their moms maiden name and second is their dads last name. The kids in latin countries take both last names. You should only be taking the second last name, not both. That’s why it isn’t hyphenated if it was, then you’d take both.

I know that! The social security office was fine with that but DMV says I have to take both even though my social only has one

View Quoted Comment I knew you would probably know, but maybe others just don’t, for whatever reason. That’s insane! Social Security office is good, but DMV isn’t. I’d go back to the DMV and hopefully get someone else? Lol

I'm gonna try another DMV and see if that works.

I know for the state of NY - whatever is on the marriage license as your surname is what has to be on your license. :/ i hope this all works out for you
