Q: Hi, this is regards to filling out my i9 forms. My green card is under my birth name, but all my IDs are my married name
Hi, my dilemma is I recently updated my last name, but my green card is still under my birth name. My lawyer recommended waiting til I renew to update my last name on my green card to avoid paying 600 again. Currently having problems filling out my i9 coz I'm not sure if I'm filling it out right. Am I supposed to fill out my i9 with my birth name that's on my green card or my legal name which is my married name on all my IDs and SS card? Should I just update my green card and pay 600 instead of waiting two years to renew it?
A: It would be helpful if you use the identical name on each of your documents.
