## Recent Attempt to Obtain Marriage License
Tried to get a marriage license but was told the name on my driver’s license is incorrect. My full name should be Firstname Middlename Lastname1-Lastname2.
8 years ago, I went through turmoil trying to get a replacement SS card only to find out that Social Security has my name correct, but without the hyphen.
Fast forward to the present, I encountered an issue at the marriage license office. The clerk questioned the discrepancy in my name on the application and pointed out that my birth certificate reads as follows:
Firstname
Middlename Lastname1
Lastname2
It appears that I have two middle names on my birth certificate, which adds to the confusion. The DMV clerk was unable to provide clear guidance on how to proceed.

Ā ****** just grabbed a
Go to the office of vital statistics and inform them of the error someone must have made when inputing your information on your birth certificate. A birth certificate is first filled out on an application in the hospital, and subsequently put into the computer by another person. It’s been awhile, but they can at the least tell you where to go from there. I had an issue with my daughter where someone decided to change my daughters last name to my maiden name instead of her father’s last name as I’d put on the application. Took 2 forms filled out and notarized and mailed in with a check to purchase a corrected copy. With you being an adult, the form may be easier (just you) or you may have to petition to the court for a legal name change to fix the error. If you have to go to court to amend it, might as well choose how you want your last name and/or full name to appear prenuptials.
Sorry, it didn’t post the way I typed it. Last name 1 is showing as a second middle on my birth certificate
I had a friend who was called Larry, his name was Laurence. He had a check written to “Larry” that some dumb bank teller refused to deposit.
Anyway, my daughter also has a hyphenated last name but when I applied for her SS card, there was not enough room for the full last name, so I only put the first half on her application.
As a young adult, she needed a passport and as it was after 9-11, it was refused. We went to the SS office and they couldn’t change it without a form of ID which we did not have because her last name did not match her SS card. Luckily she had a student ID that had her full last name and was able to go get a new SS card, an ID card and eventually a new US passport and a UK passport since she had dual citizenship but the whole thing was a nightmare. Try to get your name fixed on your driver’s license without the bloody hyphen which shouldn’t have been such a big deal.
With the passing of the Real ID Act all your records must Match state, local and federal.
Take your birth certificate and ID to SSA and get your name corrected if it’s wrong. Make sure names are all in the correct fields.
You can try create a myssa account and see what ssa has but it should match your SSN card.
These are the reasons the Real ID Act was created as you gave multiple names depending on the agency or level of gov
You need to file to have your Birth certificate ammended. Go to the Social Security office to request your page with your social security info on it (it’ll have your correct name, day of birth, SS number, parents, ect.) Then go to the state you were born in’s website and print out a copy of the Ammend Birth certificate form to fill out. Fill it out, go to the bank to get it notorized, follow mailing/payment instructions, provide additonal documents as needed (I sent sa copy of my incorrect birth certificate, curent DL and SS card, as well as the SS info page.) Wait for processing and it should be fixed if you did it correct.
Edit: My name was spelled wrong on my birth certificate and no one corrected it so I had to correct it myself as an adult which took forever because things kept being slightly wrong.
At least your name issues are the same names just in the wrong spots. Easily explainable just lots of steps.
The people that pissed me off were the ones where the birth certificate said the first name was āMaryā but theyāve been going by āAliceā their entire life so everything is in that name and thereās no clear link to back to Mary. All because mom called them something else growing up and no one gave a shit what your name really was.
My mom had a similar problem when she got married the lady at the DMV took it upon herself to change the order of her last name and refused to change it saying my mom either took it the way the lady filled out the form or she wouldn’t get registered. My mom is a bit of a people pleaser and didn’t stand up for herself at the time which she regrets to this day. Then going forward every time she tried to fix it after that it just made more of a mess. She had accounts with her maiden name, hyphen1-hyphen2, hyphen2-hyphen1 and her married name. Because depending on what documents the place requiremented her name would be different on each one.
it took until last year to sort it out. And she really tried to straighten it out. I’m talking paperwork, appeals on appeals. She had the problem for over 35 years. It plagued bank accounts, ID CARDS, Drivers licenses, taxes, and so much more. She made me swear to never hyphenate my name š¤£
This reminds of when I went to the dmv and this 70 year old woman was denied a renewal because her birth certificate said Mary Ann and her SS card said Maryann. They told her there was a document she had to file at the court
When a woman gets married, if she takes her husband’s name, she has to fill out a form and send it social security to change the name. I am not a lawyer, but I think you could change your name at the courthouse to whatever you want it to be, then get a new driver’s license, then get the marriage certifcate. If there’s not enough time for that, just put the name on your driver’s license on the marriage certificate. You can do all the name changing stuff after the wedding.
Names are an issue, ages are no better. My birth certificate has one age, Social Security had another. This came out when I filed for Social Security and they thought I was trying to commit fraud by claiming early.
Apparently when I filed for a Social Security card at 16, the clerk typed in the wrong age. This never came to light until I tried to claim. I had to go in person to SS with a state certified birth certificate. They would not accept the birth certificate from my town due to issues with record security. All certificates were voided for 100 years. This took weeks and $25 for a copy. But it fixed the problem. Hang in there. (Google: jersey city birth certificates not valid)
Maybe you ought to try getting a copy of your original birth certificate.
You say Social Security has it correct except a hyphen.
Might have to change your name on your SS card to add the hyphen.
Then take your birth certificate and Social Security card (that names exactly match, hyphen and all) to DMV and get it corrected there.
I had a similar issue with my name not being correct on both Social Security and Drivers License and had to get them both to match what was on the birth certificate.
It took a while to do but eventually got it fixed and was finally able to get married.
My granddaughter is going to have this problem down the road. She has a double first name, a middle name, and a last name.
Iāve had this issue for years! It started when I ordered a replacement card many years ago and when I got it, it had my name as firstname maidenname marriedname. Birth certificate obviously has firstname middlename lastname. So when I moved to georgia and swapped my drivers license over, my new license has āmaidennameā listed where my middlename is supposed to be. So now, depending on the circumstance, my last name may be either way. I was told that whatever social security has is my true name, which is Maidenname Marriedname (no hyphen)ā¦ which causes an entire new set of issues on websites that only allow one last name. I was also instructed that the only way to clear this up was to go thru social security first. To change names with social security (even in error) requires a āreportable eventā such as getting married or divorced (IF the divorce decree states I may return to my maiden name, which it does not). The only way to get around the reportable event rule is to have a legal name change thru the courtsā¦ and all the money and hoop-jumping that requires. Iām not doing either. So I have just learned where to use what last name. I use firstname middlename marriedname everywhere EXCEPT when filing taxes or contacting any FEDERAL government agency. With the feds I am āfirstname maidenname marriedname. Period. Rarely, some other place will flag me with a āname/ss# discrepancyā and in that case, I have to start from scratch using my federal name. Itās been a PIA for decades! Not sure if any of this info will help you in any way. I hope it does! But mostly, Iāve just never met another human with the same issue. Itās nice to at least know that I am not alone!
My SS card has my nickname with married last name. So does my drivers license. Went to get real ID and couldnāt. My passport is correct with my full name. Canāt open a SSA online profile. Assuming I need to go to SS office to find out who I am.
