Yes, it is entirely reasonable and legally permissible to file using your spouse's ITIN-assigned maiden name for the 2025 tax year. Skip the W-7 for now: Do not submit a name change request yet. It'll only trigger the manual mailing/agent requirement you are trying to avoid.
Once your spouse arrives and gets their SSN in their married name, the ITIN becomes invalid. Use the SSN/Married Name for all future years.
