[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not just amend the act to explicitly say marriage licenses count as proof of name change? What is the benefit of keeping it out if it creates this ongoing talking point?

…. It’s almost like it’s not in there for a reason…..[/quote]

My (very legitimate) marriage license is typed on a plan white piece of paper, with a county stamp, a raised notary, and a couple of random signatures. And mine is only 21 years old. Can imagine what they looked like 40, 50, 60 years ago! It would be so easy to duplicate and actually proves nothing. [/quote]

Marriage licenses have been around for a very, very long time.  And, yes, they usually have a notary stamp-though now it looks a little different.[/quote]

I was not married in this country. And lots of folks, esp in this age of destination weddings, were not married in the US.
So, we'd have to find a way to get that, pay to go through the courts to get our name changed, AND THEN apply for a passport (of approx. $160 plus the wait). This is a burden, financially and otherwise. [/quote]
