Yes. if you do not change your name after you get married, the only name you can use is your maiden name not just on your passport but on all other official documents.
Some women chose to keep their maiden names officially but use their husband's last names for social purposes. Their calling cards may read something like: Andrea Mitchell (Mrs. Alan Greenspan), Special Correspondent, NBC News.

yes, it's like when i left my husband i changed back to my maiden name, passport included, even though we weren't divorced. My solicitor said this was fine. Now i am divorcing him I have both my married and maiden names on the papers. I wish I hadn't took his name it's too confusing!

Yes, make sure all your travel documents is also in your maiden name to. Everything must correspond with the name on your passport for when you travel. Good luck.

You are keeping your maiden name so there would be no name change to put on your passport.

In western societies, yes. I don't know the rules in every country but generally, you have to notify a change of name because of marriage or whatever. If you don't advise that your name has changed, a marriage certificate doesn't do it for you.

There is no requirement to change your name when getting married, it is purely tradition.
