Likely you should put this on the Mexican forum.

Sounds strange though, never heard of such a thing and women usually take the husband's name in Mexico and of course spouses die and people marry again. Sounds like a likely miscommunication. For things like residency they would look at the name on your passport. How would they accept that name as proper identification but not accept your name having changed for such a situation. Maybe you would have to prove the former marriage and resulting name change and death certificate to prove things but to expect you change your name back makes no sense. But laws aren't always logical either.

...I took my husband鈥檚 name so of course my name is different from my birth certificate....-@anitamarco

Which husband's name did you take?

Good morning.馃檪 My first husband who died in 1994. I have had that name since 1984.

Understood.

Would changing your name to that of your current husband's name help?

@TominStuttgart Good morning. Thanks for reading my post 馃檪 You鈥檙e right about laws not always being logical. I have since gathered more documentation and a One in Same Person afidavit. I have all the proof possible with all certifications, notarizations, and apostilles as needed. 馃�瀢e鈥檒l see what happens. So what鈥檚 going on in your neck of the woods? I鈥檓 very new to this site and not entirely sure if this is also a sort of social thing? This is the first time I鈥檝e done this type of thing. This would be considered 鈥渟ocial media 鈥�? Yeah, I don鈥檛 Twit , Tweet, or Facebook. To call me 鈥渙ld school 鈥� is an understatement 馃槣

@Aidan in HCmc. Good morning 鈽�锔� That would be akin to changing my name back to my maiden name as far as ALL the hoop jumping, $, and time are concerned. I have since rounded up more documentation actually all that I can to prove I am One in the Same person. Got that affidavit too! 馃�瀢ill make a difference, but as someone in the forum said, 鈥� laws aren鈥檛 always logical 鈥�. We鈥檒l see鈥︷煠�

@TominStuttgart

You might consult with an immigration attorney in Mexico. Yes, Mexico also has them. Good luck and try to stay sane dealing with the bureaucracy.

Some years ago Mexico passed a law that required women to go by their birth name in all oficial documents. Indeed, you have to change your name to your maiden one if you want to be recognized by the Mexican government.

Any links to official sources for this claim? I am not saying it is wrong but it makes little sense. I googled it and found zero information supporting this; just a mention of Mexican women filing suit about whether the father's or mother's name are shown first in a birth certificate. Anyway, in such legal matters details can be very important, so good to have a reliable reference to exactly what any such law actually states.

Similar problem here, the apellidos are reversed on my birth certificate and my father's acta. You have to get it changed, military style, cross your "T's," and dot your "I's," or it won't get done. I qualify for citizenship three different ways, they told me but you applied with a different form, so complete the process or start a new one from a different angle. Good luck!
