I have those documents, but the problem is that there's nothing officially showing how I got from my birth name to the name I'm currently using, since my husband didn't legally change his last name until years after we were married.
You can't get remarried - you're already married. You'd need to get divorced first and then remarry.
But seriously, the State should be fine with your State-issued photo ID.
Again, according to everyone I've talked to about this, the state is NOT fine with my state-issued photo ID.
Did you actually call the State Dept?
Go there in person?
The State Department says they will be. Stop listening to "everyone" and go straight to the source.
If THEY say they won't be fine with it, ask THEM what options you have.
The post office is not the State Department. It is not the post office who gets to decide what the State Department will accept.
Yes, I did actually talk to someone in the state passport department. They seemed to think it was going to be an issue for me to use the documents and identification I currently have, since there's no official paper trail showing how I got from name #1 to name #2.
if they won't accept without a court order, file a petition in court to change your name.
Hiring a lawyer.
Did you PHYSICALLY GO TO the State Department office or did you talk to a CSR on the phone?
