When a person (traditionally the wife in many cultures) adopts their spouse’s family name, their previous surname, often referred to as the maiden name (or birth name for a gender-neutral term), is replaced. A married name, then, is the family name or surname adopted upon marriage.
Therefore, MM2H can simplify the document verification process by accepting documents that list the applicant’s name as it appears on their birth certificate and passport, regardless of any changes due to marriage.
In cases where the applicant’s name has changed due to marriage, the MM2H may consider additional supporting documents on a case-by-case basis to verify the applicant’s identity and genuine intent.
