Name game is to blame

I obtained my French driving licence five years ago and was shocked to see my maiden name.

Published Monday 11 November 2019 - 09:29 Modified Monday 11 November 2019 - 09:29

I refused to accept it and set about trying to change to my legal name of 40 years.

The gentleman who spoke to me at the ministry of the interior agreed that the licence must be changed but said nothing could be done.

I asked how I was going to be able to rent a car with a passport and credit card in one name and a licence in another.The receptionist suggested that my husband could rent it. My reply is unprintable!

I have now renewed my UK passport and requested both names to be visible.
