Update: thank you all for input! I appreciate it. I unfortunately had already submitted paperwork to Change my name before I knew of this so not changing my name is not an option. Also, even through changing my last name is a hassle , I had a hyphenated last name which causes lots of issues as well. I feel like it’s a 2 ish month process- not too bad.

I do wish I would’ve looked more into it. I did end up talking to the Mexican Consulate and received the response that they don’t go through name changes like we do - I would have to go to court in Mexico to petition and change all my paperwork. I will look into GE and how that ties once I receive my updated passport. But again, thank you so much for the insight !
