Hello Guys,

I have a question regarding the PR card and name change.

I am planning to change my legal name after married (I am assuming my spouse last name). I have been reading that I need to apply for a new PR card and attached my marriage certificate to the application.

My only concern is that my Passport is from Ecuador and it still has my family last name. If there any issues if my passport and PR dont have the same information?

What happends if in the future I decided to travel outside of the country?

Please any help or advice is appreciated.
