[請益] Mother's Full Maiden Name

[Barista (西雅圖Barista)]

Please kindly help me understand this term.

I need to fill out a form submitted to California Government.

But I am not sure about this item

which requires me to fill in "Mother's Full Maiden Name".

Actually, I think it should be my mother's full name before marriage.

But why they need this? They used to obtain people's mothers' name?

I mean they don't require my father's name
but solely require my mother's name?

Thanks for anybody's help and answer!

→ dunchee:"But why they need this?"-> 這是美國文化的一環。最簡單
→ dunchee:的就是-> 他們/文件要什麼，你就給什麼  台灣(的文件)一般
→ dunchee:不需要填這東西，這是"我們"的習慣。現在你填的是美國的文
→ dunchee:件，那麼就按照他們的習慣來填，就這樣。
→ Barista:Thank you! 那我就是填上我媽媽的英文全名這樣嗎? Thanks
推 cita: 是，因為台灣人一般結婚後不會改名字所以填嬤媽全名即可
→ Barista:Thank you very much !!
→ tengharold:yes it is your mother's name before marriage
→ tengharold:the govt needs it to make it easier to find info on
→ tengharold:her if necessary.
