Your social security number remained the same through all the name changes. If your social security number was issued to your maiden name - which is on your birth certificate - then the combination of the SS# and birth certificate should prove your US citizenship if you were a US citizen at birth. If not, then you should have naturalization papers. And even if you don’t have any of these records on you, the govt has the records and they can easily be verified.
I say I’m the President of the United States. Unless and until you can prove that I’m not you have to give me control of the nuclear football. Do you see any problem with that?
Calif DMV gives a citizen two choices: a certified or original birth certificate, or, an unexpired passport, plus other documentation. Which works great for guys. But a woman who has married, has to prove a link between her maiden name to her married name. The only document that would prove a link would be her marriage certificate. If she’s divorced and remarried again, there’s still a requirement to prove continuity:
• Certified marriage certificate
• A certified dissolution of marriage/domestic partnership document with new name
NOTE: Multiple name change documents are needed if your name has changed multiple times.
Guys don’t have jump all these hoops.
California also requires your Social Security Card:
The name on your Proof of Social Security Number must match your identity document or name change document.
For example, the name on your SSN card must match the name on your marriage certificate.
and,finally, proof of residency which can be 2 of either:
utility bills/ mortgage statement/ real estate deed/ car registration/ medicalrecords/ bank statements/ income tax returns/ property tax statement.
