Her er lidt blandet info:
Dansk navnelov § 5. Ønsker ægtefæller samme efternavn, kan den ene ægtefælle med den anden ægtefælles samtykke tage dennes efternavn, medmindre navnet er taget i medfør af § 7, stk. 1, nr. 1 eller 2.

• ” Since the name on any travel documents need to match the name on your identification, use your maiden name when making travel arrangements within the first couple months from your wedding date (i.e. honeymoon)(anvisningen gælder kvinder, men tidshorisonten er givet den samme, altså regn med at det tager nogle måneder før alle nødvendige papirer er ændret)
• Check the name change policies with your bank, department of motor vehicles (DMV), and other service providers to see if they will need certified copies of your marriage certificate – these can take approximately 2 weeks to be mailed so be prepared in order to avoid delays
After the Ceremony:
• Start the name change process at the social security office (locations), and bring the completed SS-5 form, a certified copy of your marriage certificate, and identification.
• The DMV is the next place to visit (locations) so you can get a new license or ID card. In some states, only a copy of the marriage certificate is required, but other states want to see the new name on a Social Security card before they issue license with the new name.
• Once you have your new Social Security card and ID, and along with a copy of your marriage certificate if needed, you will have enough documentation to change the name on all your other accounts and legal documents (ie: your passport, bank account, mortgage and leases, voter registration, credit cards, utility bills, the IRS, the post office, stocks/bonds/mutual funds, retirement plans, etc.). And yes, you will need to contact each of the organizations you deal with one by one. This is probably the most time consuming part of the name change process.
• Check with your employer’s human resources (HR) department to ensure that they are using the correct name and that your company changes your tax deductions and withholdings to reflect the fact that you’re married.
• Contact other institutions and organizations with which you have accounts and memberships. Once you have your new Social Security card and drivers licence or ID (and more copies of your divorce order) you will be able to restore your former name with other organizations (banks, credit cards, Internal Revenue Service (IRS),
• Start using your new name. Once you’ve obtained new identification bearing your new name you should begin to consistently use that name as your own. And that’s the final step.
