Very popular today and she hyphenates them. Common tradition among Latina women. Other than that? Get a Passport. Yes, I know expensive but a Federal document will trump a State one. Besides, whether you are single or married (especially gay married), that passport has no listing what your marital status is. I have seen that with state agencies seeing that US Passport, instead of state driver licenses, BC, marriage licenses, they look at you in SHOCK. You are giving me a FEDERAL Photo ID? Yeah, argue with the Feds, jerks.
