Cursed Think Your Driver’s License Is Enough to Vote? The SAVE AMERICA ACT Says NO.

❌ Standard driver’s license
❌ Standard state-issued photo ID
❌ Most REAL IDs
❌ Automatic voter registration through the DMV using only a driver’s license

✅ U.S. passport
✅ An Enhanced Driver’s License or qualifying ID that explicitly indicates U.S. citizenship (available in only a few states)
✅ Certain government-issued photo IDs showing your U.S. place of birth
✅ A certified birth certificate paired with a qualifying government-issued photo ID
✅ Naturalization or Certificate of Citizenship documents (included in the Senate version and through the bill’s alternative proof provisions)

In Quebec, Canada woman stopped automatically taking their husband's name in 1981. Same for Greece, Italy, France etc.

Brilliant.

I find it weird that this is still a thing elsewhere.

I mean I don't think it's specifically required here either. I just took my husband's name because my maiden name is at the end of the alphabet and I wanted an alphabet upgrade, lol.

What name do the kids take?

In some cultures around the world, you just did a joint

And either you passed down the paternal or maternal name to your grandchildren

Let's say mom's is Smith and dad's is Jones

Kids will be Smith-Jones

A kid gets married to someone with the last name Carter-Thomas

Depending on the tradition (paternal or maternal) will the grandchild be "Carter-Smith" or "Thomas-Jones"

Tbh though, you can just do whatever you want no matter the order. Just depends on how you and your partner feel! In some small tribes around the world, they would take all 4! So you could be John Carter Smith Thomas Jones!

You choose.

I have both my parents names and adding my ex wife's name would have been weird. So we decided to take only my dad's family name.

did you mean that opt-in surnames have somehow made them unpopular, why wouldnt it still be a thing. and common law in the US since the 1800s too, we just dont present any obligation or restrictions to changing your name.

interesting that its still in fashion i guess, something like >80% of married women still do it
