Travelling - Passport with maiden name

[Jjfrd]

Hello guys,

My passport does not expire until 2022,it has my maiden name, and I received my green card this past November with my married name.
Will I have trouble coming back with that passport plus the green card and the wedding certificate?

What else should I take?

Thank you!

Hello,

I assume you have an Indian passport and just got your green card with your married name.

Go to the CKGS passport website and then under FAQ you will see Name Change to the left side. Click there for instructions on how to get this documented on your passport. The link below may get you there, else Google search CKGS passport and then click on FAQ

If you have further questions, you should write to them under Feedback. Ask them how to go about the procedure ; might be better if you email them, rather than calling their toll free line which is usually very busy and even if you get someone, they won't be eloquent in their response (i.e you might get a run-around).

Good luck and let us know how you make out.

I'm actually from Brazil, but this is a good idea since I'm far from the embassy and they don't answer the phone.
I'll email them and see what they say.

Thank you for replying. (:
