Generally, ECA would be issued with name as it appears in the educational certificates. However, if you can send a Letter of Explanation (LOE) along with a copy of your marriage certificate and spouse's passport, they may mention your surname in brackets against her name. However, it does not matter, if ECA report is issued with your spouse's maiden name, you can explain the same in the LOE when submitting your PR application.
 
Thanks, really appreciate your response. Will go ahead with maiden name and will add details in LOE while submitting PR application.

Thanks Stanlee...But the transcript will be sealed by University. How will I be able to send LOE with marriage certificate and passport copy? Is it required to be sent separately?
