It’s not from a governmental perspective, it complicates everything whenever people change their name and tracking files between ministries becomes a nightmare.
Heck, I had a client from the next province over and that lady had to show me three pieces of ID before we found one where her last name matched her proof she got vaccinated and the only one that did match wasn’t a legal piece of ID! She still had her late husband’s name on one, the name of her new husband on another and her maiden name on the last one.
Yeah but it wasn’t meant to be a piece of ID, heck it doesn’t have a picture on it, and we also have a social security number in Canada and there’s a name associated to it.
I’m fine with a woman choosing not to change her name, but banning the practice altogether seems a bit weird.

This is one of the good things about Social Security numbers in the US. Doesn’t matter what your name is, you’re still a number.
