I find myself in agreement with Erika Stutzman on the stoopid DMV regulations what prevent married women from changing their middle name to their maiden name without a court order.
An e-mail had just circulated to clerks telling them that an ignored rule on the books since the early 2000s — geared to fight identity theft — means you cannot add or change anything with middle names without a court order. And the marriage license and new SSA identification, which women have been using for well over a decade with no problems whatsoever, is suddenly, as of this week, no longer sufficient.
