This makes me wonder what happens if a person with dual citizenship that includes one country that makes name changes hard and one that does not, legally changes their name in the easier one. Do the two countries end up disagreeing over what that person’s name is, or is there some kind of international agreement on recognizing the same names to prevent confusion for law enforcement and such?
I’m from the us and got married in Germany (to a German as a resident, not like a destination wedding). They told us we could change our names differently in the US and Germany would accept them, but they could only do so many options here.
