[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work for a school district and it’s always a pain when you try to look the kid up by Jones and he is Smith Jones. [/quote]
Yes! This is a huge pain and the parents names don't match up and it turns out kid is different or it's there but not in the search parameters.

Op, how would you like others to address invitations, cards to you and your spouse?
Try filling out just the name portion of a passport application as a test run, print one out and see. It's inconvenient if your identity is not always listed with the same last names for credit purposes so I don't recommend your plan to use it for some things and not others.
Expect some confusion from people who just see a list of names and/or decide to hyphenate for you thinking it was left off or shorten it in their own way.

I don't think it's as easy as people state here but if you need it that way, hang on to the names and be gracious about the inevitable mishaps. Don't be quick to take offense as people will make mistakes. [/quote]
