Although, if you are saying that her legal name is still her maiden name (since you say no legal name change has occurred) then the issue is that you created a FF account with DL using a false name which does not match her legal name or ID. Sounds like it is your own fault. You need to figure out what her real name is, legally change it, get a new passport, then everything will match.

Gosh, that sounds like a headache. Would be much simpler for people to just keep their own names when married.
NO. SHE (not the OP who is her husband) needs to decide what legal name she will use.

I'm in favor of the wife keeping her own (maiden) name. It's easier. Why go through the hassle of changing names on everything? Also, then does one then change the names back during a divorce?
