Police Clearance

Question

I never formally changed my name after marriage. This means I never changed my ID or my passport to reflect my husband's name. When I went to apply for PCC the official at the police station said that because I have no proof of identification with my husbands name  I couldn't apply for PC using my husbands name. So I applied with my name as it appears on my id. I received my police clearance certificate today. It states my surname as on my ID ie without my husbands name which is what i applied for but will this be an issue for the 190 visa application if home affairs has me listed with my husbands name?

From what I understand (and I am no expert). Its whats on your passport that matters. The name on your Police Clearance Certificate will need to match your passport. Australia doesn't have a concept of an "identity document"  which is a pain in the rear.
