Assuming you are in the UK... you would need to apply for a biometric resident permit OR she can carry both passports with her when travelling.

Yes she is in the UK, yes I know this she will need biometric but need to know how can she change her name? Do I have to send her passport and a deed poll for declaring a new name.

Please advice what documents are needed.

Cheers

Married women just need their marriage certificate as proof of name change.
I would imagine you would need to send both passports as well. You can always do a PEO appointment to avoid waiting for the passports to be returned.
