Name change on BRP if applied for naturalisation
Posted: Thu Jan 02, 2014 10:00 am
Hi,
I posted this query in some other thread but didn't get any response, so I am posting it as a separate thread.
Me & my family applied for naturalisation in Oct 2013 and we just received the acknowledgement on 27/12/2013. My wife changed her surname by deed poll just before application and sent the change name request in the application. According to BRP guideline we need to get new BRP within 3 months of name change, now my question is:
Do we need to get a new BRP even if we have applied for naturalisation?
I know that BRP will be redundant after naturalisation approval and I also searched this forum and found that it takes 3 to 6 months to get new BRP. Logically it looks no advantage of getting a new BRP but I couldn't find any information on UKBA website or any thread on this forum. Can someone please provide me any information about this and link to the UKBA?
I will be highly obliged.
