I guess we have the internet age to thank for that. Certainly filling in my on-line passport application was pretty idiot-proof (and I should know)!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-41628966170566971542016-11-22T17:21:07.676+00:002016-11-22T17:21:07.676+00:00That should read re-married lol bloody phone.That should read re-married lol bloody phone.Wendy @ The contented Cavernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12997397522566070661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-35666157588241731842016-11-20T13:58:01.098+00:002016-11-20T13:58:01.098+00:00I remember-married three years ago and I just abou...I remember-married three years ago and I just about have most paperwork in my new married name. However I have never once used my e-passport successfully at the automated passport control and to be honest I don't bother now I just go the manned route lolWendy @ The contented Cavernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12997397522566070661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-58482728101615486902016-11-19T00:24:08.566+00:002016-11-19T00:24:08.566+00:00I guess that makes me luckier than you then becaus...I guess that makes me luckier than you then because I only have one first and one last night. I have seen some nightmares though having worked in HR, particularly with people from other nationalities who have lots of names and then trying to get it sorted in order for the Swiss to give them their work/residence permits. And more often than not, these are the people for whom life will be so difficult without the correct paperwork. As for me, I think I have only been stopped at the Franco/Swiss border twice in 30-odd years. It ain't easy is it!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-53260957342607191042016-11-18T15:24:40.915+00:002016-11-18T15:24:40.915+00:00Glad you finally have it done and over!

I have been fighting (and losing) with the DMV here for years to change the given name on my license. My original license, from when I was 16, was issued to Elisabeth Anne Maiden Name. I go by the name Anne, so after I married I tried to get the Elizabeth replaces by Anne, Maiden Name, Married Name. No dice. They want me to change my name legally even though social security, every credit card and every other piece of info about me is Anne. My only solution is to have voting and passport info with all 4 names. Insane!Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.com
