Hi guys,
I'm Stephanie and new here! I'm from the US, my husband's from the UK, and we moved here to the Netherlands 2 years ago.
When we got married, it was back in the States in 2015, and for whatever reason, I didn't change my last name. My passport expired the same year, so I got a new one with my legal, maiden name. I didn't go through changing my legal name to my husband's last name while I was still in the States because I knew I'd be moving and traveling quite a bit, and didn't want to run into obstacles.
Now that we've settled here for 2 years and are planning on staying, I'm starting to look into changing my last name legally, but have no clue where to start. Most posts I find online aren't quite relevant to my situation, so I was wondering if any of you have had the same experience and can maybe point me in the right direction?
Extra information: I have an American driver's license that just expired last month, and I'm not bothered about changing my name on that since I'm not planning on returning to drive anytime soon (and I don't drive here). I have a Dutch residence card, plus an American passport that'll last me for another 6 or so years, so I guess those 2 are priorities for changing once I get the official name change through.
Thanks in advance!!
