redhawk Posted June 25, 2010 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Oops, never got wife's passport updated to married name, (married in 06) and we cruise on sunday, I guess we have to go with the birth certificate and drivers license. Do we need a copy of marriage cert as well? Thanks for any input. (PS I did search, the search on this site sucks it returns everything and then some) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtalum Posted June 25, 2010 #4 Share Posted June 25, 2010 You can use either her passport or her BC, even though they're in her maiden name. Just bring a copy of your marriage certificate. They probably won't even ask for it, but it'll be good to have just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhawk Posted June 25, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted June 25, 2010 thanks for the input, i guess we will run and make a copy of marriage certificate before we leave, just in case, better safe than sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelntreats Posted June 25, 2010 #6 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Just bring the documentation that matches how the cruise was booked and you will be OK, but bringing that marriage certificate is a good document to have with you just in case too if bringing a BC and photo ID. Have a GREAT CRUISE ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prettybrowneyes Posted June 25, 2010 #7 Share Posted June 25, 2010 We just came back yesterday and I had no problems with my birth certificate and ID not having the same last name. Enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted June 25, 2010 #8 Share Posted June 25, 2010 you will need the original document. no copies. -- if the cruise is in the same name as her license-- she will not need that marriage license. You needed to show the marriage license for that name change. Most ladies sailing do not have the name they were born with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting_Cruiser Posted June 25, 2010 #10 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I have never been asked for my marriage license, but I always bring it just incase. I, on the other hand, have been asked for my marriage certificate. Fortunately, my TA had told me I needed to bring it since my passport was in my maiden name at the time and I was booked in my married name. Until I got a new passport, I always carried my marriage certificate--better safe than sorry and it's just one piece of paper. As serene said, it needs to be the original--if they do ask for it (which they probably won't, but it they do on occasion) they won't accept a copy. Have a great cruise!!

jerseygirl79 Posted June 26, 2010 #11 Share Posted June 26, 2010 My passport was only a year old when I was married. I book my cruises under my maiden name and use my original passport. The only issue is if you don't like the idea of taking your passport off the ship ( I don't). You need photo ID (matching your sail & sign card) to get back on the ship at most ports. Luckily, I have other ID in my maiden name and can leave my passport on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
