Passport

Lecette, on April 6, 2020 at 8:08 PM Posted in Honeymoon 0 6
I got my passport April 2019 with my maiden name. My wedding is July 11, 2020. When I book my honeymoon do I have to use my married name on my flight even though I’m not married yet. Can I still use my original passport

    Book everything in your maiden name unless you’ll have to time to get a new social security card, ID, and passport before you leave.

    I agree with PP. I would use my maiden name and then chage everything later.

    Your bookings have to match the name on your passport. Your name is not officially changed when you get married. It is changed when you change it with the Social Security Administration. If you don't believe you will have enough time to change your name with SSA and get a new passport printed with your married name prior to the honeymoon, I would hold off on the name change until after you come back.

    Hey Hannah! I ended booking my honeymoon with my maiden name but due to COVID19 we are not traveling until September 2020. I can wait till after my honeymoon to officially change my last name with the SSA. Just so everything matches?

    Yeah, you should be fine. I think it varies by state, but I got married July 2019 and didn't change my name until mid September. I'm in NJ, but I think in most states it's fine for at minimum a few months.

    I agree with everyone. Best thing to do is book in your maiden name and wait until after your honeymoon to start the processing of changing it to your new last name.
