I am adjusting my status and I received my EAD in my married name already. However due to COVID I haven't updated my name with SSN (don't want to lose my EAD because I'm about to start employment).
I am moving to Texas so I need to apply for another REAL ID, I have all the documents required in my maiden name except for my EAD, but I also have my marriage certificate proving the name change. Would I be able to get a REAL ID at least in my maiden name? Would they turn me away and require me to update my name with SSA first? If anyone has experience like this please let me know, thank you!!
EDIT: I just realized another thing, I have to file my taxes in my maiden name soon because that's what SSA has my name as, and before everything is sorted out with last year's taxes, I don't want to throw a name change in between and mess things up. so I can't even change my name with SSA at the moment
