My concern is that we will land in Thailand, Japan, or Hong Kong only to be sent back home by a customs agent unhappy that my wife did not get a new passport. Do custom agents have name change info in their data bases? Is this likely to present a problem as we enter these countries? Should we bring along a certified copy of our marriage license? I don't like to take risks and this is causing me to lose some sleep! Please advise. Thanks!
