vacruizer Posted May 6, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I got married in January and have an upcoming booking in my maiden name. It was booked prior to the marriage and I’ve held off on updating my passport until after this cruise is over so the names would match. I went in to register through verifly and used my state’s QR code to load my vaccine record. Without my knowledge, the last name on the vaccine record had been updated to my married name. I have no idea how or when this occurred. I suspect it was triggered by either my DMV or social security name changes or updated somehow by a doctor I’ve seen recently. Carnival is telling me I can’t board unless the vaccine record matches the booking…. Only I never requested that my vaccine record be changed!!! Anyone out there run into this? I plan to bring old and new drivers license, copy of marriage certificate, passport in maiden name…..surely they won’t deny me boarding over this if I can prove it’s me?

Rare Eli_6 Posted May 6, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I have no idea how this works. Do you have your original vaccine card? Wouldn't it have your maiden name? All I have ever had to show was my vaccine card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ireallyneedavacation Posted May 7, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) You don’t have to use VeriFLY to board. Take all your paperwork and show them your vaccine card with your maiden name. We just cruised last week, and we just took all of our needed documents. Edited May 7, 2022 by Ireallyneedavacation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just present your paper, matching documents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-train Posted May 9, 2022 #6 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Bring your marriage certificate that shows your name change. If your ID (Passport, etc...) still has your old name, you will need your marriage certificate anyway... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tytanbri Posted May 9, 2022 #7 Share Posted May 9, 2022 My daughter had the opposite issue. Vaccine card in her maiden name and all the rest of her paperwork and reservations in married name. Carnival told her to bring the bridging document. She was not able to use verifly because they did not match. She took her paper documents with no issues. The rest of us used verifly and really liked the ease of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PittsburghGirlee Posted May 9, 2022 #8 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Marriage certificates are key in these situations. Don't leave home without it!! Enjoy your cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
