I'd like to get some traveler's checks for our trip to the DR next week. My situation is this: I just got married & changed my last name on my passport. The way the US does it is just to add an amendment to the last page saying "This passport was amended May 17, 20204, to reflect the name of (new name)" or something like that.
It looks pretty darn unofficial (like I could've done it on my home typewriter), but that's the way they do it for everyone here I guess. The first page still shows my maiden name. Do you think I'll get any grief while trying to cash travelers checks in my new name, or are merchants pretty accepting of the name change amendment on the last page? I wasn't planning to bring any other ID (one less thing to loose), but maybe I should?
Has anyone delt with this while traveling to the DR or elsewhere? Not sure if this could be a problem. Any thoughs?
