Question regarding names..pls help!

Published

I am a newly graduate from Philippines and I'm a greencard holder. I've already submitted my request and other forms in my school to be mailed directly to the California Board of Nursing. I just got married after graduation. The records that I have to the school (TOR,diploma,etc..) is using my maiden name, but the 3 forms from the California Board of Nursing that I've submitted to the school, I used my married name. My question is, I haven't submitted my application for NCLEX because I dont know if is it ok to use my maiden name instead of my married name because my identification i.d here in California is using my maiden name. and my only legal document to present the change of name is a copy of marriage certificate issued only by the office of civil registrar of city hall of cavite city. i dont have a copy of marriage certificate issued by NSO because the process take about few months.can i use my maiden name in my application although i used my married named for the 3 forms i passed in school, eventually to be mail by board of registered nurse?

i hope i addressed my concerns clearly... pls help... thanks a lot..:wink2:

do you also change your name in your permanent resident card? for the documents that the school have passed directly to BON, do your school provided documents such as geriatric? in my case, i was able to check the papers and realize that there is no data regarding geriatric,and i question the school but they said that its ok,honestly, i got annoyed for their response because it may cause delays if that should be included.

I haven't changed my name on my green card yet. Just have your marriage certificate available when you present your green card and CA I.D. when applying for a job or when you'll use them for other purposes, i.e., credit card applications, opening a bank account, etc. Were there other graduates from your school who applied for california licensure and were approved? In my case, the documents sent by my school to BRN did not also mention anything about geriatrics and this was also my concern then. However, previous applicants from my school who submitted the same did not have any problem about that.
