fjef 0 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I've been married for 14 years and my wife uses her own family name in Japan and Canada. No problems or confusion. I use my own name as well. Kids have 2 passports - the Japanese passports have the Japanese family name as the official surname and my surname is in brackets - it makes it easier if they are travelling only with me. (it can be a real problem if you are travelling with your kids and surnames do not match- especially US immigration) The Canadian passport uses the Japanese name as a middle name. This way they can choose what works best for them and we have never had a problem... I remember stressing over doing this right years ago - but it has worked out fine for us and as far as I know, there is no divorce in sight.. Link to post Share on other sites
