My wife is a dual citizen of Japan and the U.S. We are getting married in early February&We are going to Hawaii for our honeymoon.
・ Booked round trip ticket with Japanese passport information
・ Japanese passport with married name
・ US passport with maiden name
I think the following concerns exist in this situation. ?
In this situation, is it even possible to leave the country in the first place ?
For outbound travel
・ When leaving Japan, use Japanese passport (check in & at passport control)
< ・ Entering US using US passport (different family name but still allowed to enter US ? \ \}
Return
・ Check-in using Japanese passport
・ Departure using US passport (at this time, you can leave Japan even though your last name is different from your ticket ? )
・ Use Japanese passport when entering Japan
I wish I had realized this earlier, but I didn't have much time, 5 weeks before my flight, and I checked the US consulate's website, I wish I had realized this earlier, but I have only 5 weeks until my flight, and when I check the US consulate website, it states that passport renewal usually takes 6-8 weeks, so I will not make it in time.
Worst case scenario, I will have to consider changing the name on the ticket side, so if anyone has any insight, I would appreciate it if you could advise me.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

If your wife has a Japanese passport and the airline ticket is in her name, she should be able to enter and leave Japan with a round-trip Japanese passport ? I don't think you need to be concerned about an American passport. However, you will need to apply for ESTA in that case.
Incidentally, the U.S. allows dual citizenship, so you can use your Japanese passport to leave Japan and your U.S. passport to enter the U.S. However, in Japan, you must choose between the two if you are over 23 years old, so if you use your Japanese passport to return home, the information about your entry to the U.S. will not be included. If you use a Japanese passport to go back to Japan, you may be suspected of various things because it will not contain information about your entry into the U.S. If your wife is over 23, I think it is safe to use a round-trip Japanese passport.
If you want to use an American passport for the round trip, I think you should change your name on the airline ticket to your maiden name. I can imagine that it will be troublesome when you check in for your flight out of Japan and when you check in for your flight back home.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Your wife is
① a Japanese citizen but has acquired US citizenship
② your parents are Japanese and your wife was born in the US and has dual citizenship
the response depends on which of the above you choose.
① In the case of, as AG said, it is not allowed in Japan, so you need to choose
either one, but there is no problem if you enter and leave Japan with a Japanese passport.
Please choose in the near future.
② In the case of, my daughter and son were born in the US and are US citizens, but I am a Japanese citizen, so I have Japanese citizenship as well.
When I renew my Japanese passport, I am told to choose it softly.When I renew my Japanese passport, I am told to choose softly, but I am not forced to do so.
My daughter is married,
for example,
her current surname is (Itami)
our surname is (Haneda)
my maiden name is (Narita)
on her American passport.
And I have been to Japan without any problem.And I plan to keep my dual citizenship.
I can book flights under either name on my passport.
Both passports will be presented at the airline counter in both the US and Japan.
At customs on outbound flight
Departing Japan → Japanese passport
Arriving in Hawaii → American passport
At customs on return flight
Departing USA → No customs, airline
Arrive in Japan → Japanese passport
If you are concerned that your passport name may be different,
you may want to carry a copy of your family register with you just in case ?
<4467> I think the worst thing you can do is
apply for ESTA while you are a US citizen.
If you check
No, you are lying to the U.S. government and it will be very disadvantageous.
In the meantime, why don't you contact the airline ??This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

>Thank you AG and min
for your answers.
My wife's pattern was born in the US, so she is ② the one you refer to in your pattern, min.
I was worried, so I decided to apply for ESTA, but then I got stuck on the very thing you pointed out and had to suspend the application.
I will use a copy of my family register as you pointed out, since my maiden name is correct in the U.S. even if my surname has changed.
Incidentally, I also checked with the airline company, but they replied that they could not make a decision.
The response was that there should be no particular problem, but it cannot be said with certainty that there is no problem, so if you are unsure, please decide on your nationality and apply for esta and go as a Japanese. If you are worried about it, decide your nationality and apply for esta and go as a Japanese.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Hi
Let me make one correction.
My maiden name is not correct for my US passport,
it means that my maiden name is not a problem.
My daughter has been married for 3 years and I was told that changing it is not a problem at the next renewal.
As long as the name on the plane ticket and either passport is the same, you can board the plane.
However, you must have both passports.
When you go through immigration in the U.S.,
both of you should proceed to the immigration counter together.
Since your wife is entering the U.S. as an American, she only needs to present her U.S. passport and no airline tickets, etc.
When leaving the U.S.,
present both passports at the airline company counter.
And at the baggage checkpoint, you will need to present your passport, but
go through with your U.S. passport.
Basically, Japanese passport for entering and leaving Japan
American passport for entering and leaving America.
I wish you a wonderful wedding, honeymoon, and trip 💒.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)
