    Default Re: Birth Certificate Has Mother Maiden Name-Va

    It states: the Petitioner shall be awarded the restoration of her maiden name Cxxxxx Mxxxxx Lxxxxxx.
    Which is the name that I have always used.

    The more I think about this the more than I think you might have a problem, even though the divorce orders are specific.

    Usually, when it comes to a passport application the process requires a clear, documented line of name changes (mostly applicable to women)

    You have the BC which proves that you are a US citizen...born in the US. But you have no proof that you are the person listed on the BC because you cannot demonstrate where your name changed from the BC to the name that you used, to your married name, and then back to your current name.

    Unless when you got married the paper trail got created...do you recall any difficulty adopting your married name when you first got married?

    If your parents are also still living you should ask them about documentation when they first applied for your social security number. You are old enough that they did not have to apply for your SSN at birth, and in fact may have obtained it when you were much older...maybe even a teen...your parents may have documentation.

    I applied for my SSN when I started working as a teen in Va. I believe I used my drivers license to apply for my SSN that I got at age 16 in Va as well. I had know problem in Mn to get a marriage license at all, so no paper trail to connect to my birth certificate. What a mess.

    Unfortunately its a mess that you need to deal with now, because its also going to be a mess when you retire as well...and its best that you deal with it now while your parents area still alive...assuming that they are.

    Is this something that I can do with sending in a name change request to vital records in Va, or do I have to go to court in Va to get it changed? I live in Mn and traveling to Va Beach on vacation in a few weeks and just wanted to find out the best way to get this fixed. My Mom is still alive, but not my Dad.
