Topheran Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 Hello, We adopted our son in February and also had his name changed as well. His birth certificate is his old name but on the cruise we have it listed as his actual new adopted name. We have a copy of the court adoption order stating the name has changed, is that enough? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaa Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 That should be enough. If you have time to get Passports, that is always the best. Topheran, Cactus527 and ChessE4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topheran Posted March 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 Thanks we cant get passports yet because his official new birth certificate takes 6 months to arrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaa Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 Makes sense. Congratulations BTW. I get so excited about cruises, I was missing the big picture. What a great thing to celebrate on your cruise. Just bring is BC and the adoption papers. It will be fine. Cactus527 and Linda R 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 Yes, the decree plus original birth certificate will be enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastorW Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 Just went through this last week. We took our adopted sons original birth certificate and a copy of our adoption decree signed by the judge. At the terminal the agent had to get her supervisors approval, but it wasn’t an issue at all. Just an extra step. We weren’t ever asked again for them. When we disembarked the customs agent never looked at them. I was a little stressed because I’d hate for that to be an issue, but it really wasn’t. congrats and have a great time!

Babsy47 Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 We had this issue with my sister and her adopted son. She had the birth certificate, the adoption decree, and the name change document. It went smoothly. KristiZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
