My ex kept her name too, it was just easier for bank accounts and such. Especially when it came to the divorce.... clean and simple.
I kept mine because we shared a child. I have also not compelled to go back to my maiden name.
Wait till they go renew the compliant license. I was renewing my Fed compliant a few years ago, lo and behold I was rejected, they some how didn't get the scan of my documents right. Even though the license was compliant, I no longer was. So back across a couple mountains and up the hollow to grab it all again. Oh, this was in WV by the way. And I like this DMV way more then Maryland.

Thanks. I was pretty sure I could. I got the papers that proved I graduated thru the mail.

What does the compliant mean? Did I miss it in this thread?

Keeping your maiden name was a pretty new thing when I got married. People were just starting to do that.
When Anita and I got married in June 82, her keeping her family name was a bit of a fashion forward thing to do.
I had no problem with it, tis a perfectly good name. Besides, we had 3 state and 1 federal government bureaucracy to deal with, along with financial institutions...why give them a chance to screw up any vital records?
Compliant = I had previously provided them with all the required documentation to obtain a Federally compliant ID/driver's license (REAL ID).

I walked in without appointment this past Monday at 0830. Initial line had about 20 folks waiting to get a number. They had 2 employees behind counter doing intake and another employee walking the line checking everyone's needs. I was there to present my Real ID documents and get my updated license early (it's not actually due for renewal until Sep 2021). They inspected my documents before giving me a number. They accepted my Valid Passport, W2, DD214, St Marys County Property Tax Bill and my Mortgage Bill. It took about an hour for my number to get called and another 15 minutes for them to scan in my documents and go through the renewal process. There was no charge for renewing early ( actually it's not a renewal becaus the new license will only be good until Sept 2021) I will have to renew the new license in Sept 2021 for $40. My new Real ID Licence will take 7-10 days to be issued and will be mailed to my address on file. I still have my current license until the new one arrive via mail.

Just saw this. Some added information, especially regarding the use of the middle name vs the middle initial in your name. If you have an initial on your passport, your passport may be rejected as proof.

New Driver’s License Requirements Producing Anger, Frustration
The new driver’s license requirements demanded by federal law are not only producing long lines at Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration offices, but anger and frustration for many who are having their documents rejected to get a compliant REAL ID.

Just checked mine. I'm OK.
Let me say this to anyone that needs to do anything at MVA...
MAKE AN APPOINTMENT!!!
At 9:15am, there had to be at least 25 people waiting for driver's license renewal when I checked in for my 9:30 appointment. I didn't even have a chance to find a place to wait before they called my number. I took me maybe 15 minutes to get new photo, eye test, documents scanned, and answer a few questions.
The worse part of the whole experience were all the eyes burning holes like lasers into the back of my head as sat down at the station.

FYI if your social security card has been laminated then it is not a valid SS card. The military laminated many recruits cards back in the day and now the MVA is telling them that invalidated their card.
In the 1980s my mom felt the need to laminate everything so mine was laminated by her.

I just looked at my SS card (original and old), and what I find funny is that while I was required to show it to get my DL it clearly states that it is "For Social Security and Tax Purposes - Not For Identification",. So if it isn't for ID why the Hell does it need to be shown?

I always thought that proscription was for non-government entities.
