Is Maiden Name on PCC acceptable or does it have to be Married Name?

My wife went to get a PCC and instead of using her married name she used her maiden name. Lone behold it came back with her maiden name. Is it imperative to get it with her married name or would they let it slide? Someone please answer ASAP.

Thanks a bunch!

I'm not entirely sure, but I would assume so long as you have included your marriage certificate, which will have her maiden name, you should be OK.

Fingers crossed but she's trying to get one with her married name. I think it should be okay as well but you never know, better safe than sorry. Thanks for your reply. If anyone else had this situation occur, please fill me in!

It should not be an issue. CIC will be able to figure it out.

It shouldn't matter at all. My PCC was also in my maiden name, but from the USA which uses fingerprints to determine identity, so the name on the report was kind of irrelevant.

If she had to get hers using her fingerprints, then I wouldn't worry about it.
