LetsMakeWaves55 Posted January 9, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I'm getting married on saturday 8/17 and our honeymoon is booked on the Victory leaving Monday 8/19. We'll probably fly out of Wisconsin on sunday night because flying in the same day as the ship leaves is a little too stressful for me. Now my driver's license and my passport are obviously in my maiden name, do I have to get that changed before leaving for the cruise or can I wait and do that when we return seeming as we don't have much time? The cruise and everything is booked under my name anyways....Just not sure how to go about this one, looking for advice! Thank you all :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kboatman Posted January 9, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 9, 2013 As long as your cruise documents and passport are in the same name, you will be fine. There's plenty of time to stress about name changes when you get back. Congrats and enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6rugrats Posted January 9, 2013 #3 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Agree with above. You only need a passport anyway, not your driver's license, and there'd be no time to get these changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherylandtk Posted January 14, 2013 #4 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Travel under your maiden name as others have said. You will not have the legal copy of your marriage certificate (filed and recorded with the county registrar) until weeks or months after the wedding. Only then can you proceed with getting your DL, SS and all other documents changed over to your married name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseonthebrain Posted February 12, 2013 #6 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Agreed- travel under your Maiden name- getting names changed on everything takes a lot longer and more effort than one would think. Congratulations!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
