Answer 5

What is the name on your MC/Visa? The may ask you for ID when using a credit card and in that case the names will need to match up. I present them with my drivers license because i do not like to carry my passport everywhere. Locking things up in the hotel safe is a smart idea.

No one is going to ask you for a second piece of ID at the border, but if there is any discrepancy, i would carry a copy of your divorce papers so that, in the event immigration is questioning you, you can present them with the proper documents. I dont think there is any way for them to know you have a different last name at this point. Your picture is the most important and the fact that you have a valid passport should be enough for them to let you in the country.

Howerver, I always say...

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. Cover all possible angles and you will be good to go.

best of luck
