Along a related line of questioning, on a recent flight to the US we were told that we'd have to fill out separate customs declarations (even though we were married and obviously live in the same household) because we have different last names. I've never had this happen before and never heard of it. Anyone know of any recent rule changes? We didn't have a problem at customs. But I thought it was curious that the flight attendant thought it would be necessary. But perhaps she thought we weren't married.
My wife and I didn't have a problem coming back from our honeymoon. Our names were different, Customs didn't say word one about it. Heck, when we traveled to Italy last year, my wife traveled on her maiden name because she never changed her passport. We carried the marriage license just in case, but approached Customs together and didn't have any problem, other than getting sent to Ag because we bought chocolate at the airport in MUC.
