Do you have both last names on your EAD? - Page 2

My passport and id have both last names so I would want my ead to have both. But I actually like my maternal name.

i ran into a similar problem my original name is Brayhan, but throughout middle school,HS,and college i went with "Bryan" mainly bcuz they changed my name when i enrolled for the first time in school,do u think they'll have my name how i had it so far or how it is in my birth certificate? and do u guys know if its possible to change your name when you get your EAD? my bio appointment is on the 29th

Nope, not everyone. I like having both, part of my identify. I actually dislike having only one, I wish I could always use both but it's kind of hard here, they're too used to people having only one.

I just don't like the problems it causes. people don't know what name to use . I used to get mail from the bank Ms.(insert maternal last name here). its just annoying and it turns into a matching game.

You can do that?

I received your PM, but it is better if I answer here in case others have the same question.

To request a legal name change you need to look up the requirements in your state. Where I reside I had to send a form to the local probate court in my district. After a few days I received a notice with the date of my court hearing. They did ask for my ID and SSN thus I would apply after you have obtain those documents.

My sister's card has both last names, my 2 approvals only have dad 's last name so I'm guessing my card will as well.

If it's unimportant, I don't really care, letters in the mail are usually junk anyway. I always clarify to places that are important that my last names are two, but if they have a problem (for example I remember trying to get a library card and they couldn't put both of them bc of the computer system), I just used my paternal last name.

But legal documents, yes, I always try to use both. I've actually been meaning to get my diplomas changed because they only have my paternal last name

Yes my EAD has both last name, but I think for your social you have your choice if you want both last names.

Really? what about DL my best friend said her two last names were so long they asked her if she wanted both last names
