Do you need to change your international Russian passport to go to Russia if it has your maiden name but your green card has your current last name that is of your husband?

Name change in your zagran.passportI had the same situation a year ago - zagranpassport with maiden name and green card with American name. When I was leaving from MOscow to America ,at Sheremet'jevo, they just made sure I had a valid green card to enter America and did not care about the name difference. So you can go with your documents if they are not expired.

TO make assuarance double sure ,you can now go to the Russian Consulate where you live and ask them to put a stamp in you zagranpassport with your American name. Very simple to do. You just need to write an application there, bring your green card (they will make a copy there for their files) and pay them 20 dollars fee (in the form of money order). THey do it right there in your presence if consule is in the office. I have just did it last week in Russian Consulate in Seattle.

If you need more details - my name is Lana and tel. (360)426-9149. Leave your number and name to call back if I am not at home when you call.

Good luck
