Can I Use Both My Remarried name and Former Husband's Name?
Full Question:
Answer:
It is generally acceptable to use a former name in another arena, such as a professional network, as long as not done for fraudulent or deceptive purposes. However, in many governmental and institutional arenas, there are individual guidelines for acceptable proof of identity, so conflicts may arise. Identity information is used in a multitude of governmental, business, and personal settings- driver's license, passport, credit card, bank account, etc. .In many instances, only one legal name is recognized. For example, there are rules for changing the name on your social security card and driver’s license rules vary by state. While it is not illegal to use two names for proper purposes, it may cause complications down the road.
