Hi,
We are currently in the process for applying for sponsorship and a little bit confused with the legal name to be used for the application. My wife and I got married recently in Japan and my wife's last name on the marriage certificate issued here is the same. But she got a new passport and it has her name with my last name in brackets (). Do we use her legal name that's on the marriage certificate or the name change that's on the passport?
Legally, her name is the same, but for new passports, they issue it with the husbands's surname on there as well. So I am confused to which name to use for the application for sponsor. Anyone has this experience or know the answer? Thanks!
