Change of name

I wonder if anyone on this forum can help me. My wife is a filipina and we married in the philippines. She obtained a filipino passport showing my surmane then as her married name. However when we returned to this country I changed my name by deedpole and my wife also changed her name by deed pole so that she had my new surname. However as far as I am aware the Philippines authorities do not recognise deed pole changes on their citizens names. Hence my wife kept on using her original filipino passort in her previous name, which she has also renewed.
She is thinking of applying for British citizenship but all her documents are in her "new" name other than her passport. which is in her old totally different name. Does anyone think this will be a problem with the British authorities and if so is there any way of getting round it.
On another issue does anyone know what is the maximum time she can stay out of this coutnry before having to apply for a visa again. I cant seem to find this on the internet. Any responses much appreciated. Thanks in anticipation

No I do not think that will be a problem. She just needs to apply for Naturalisation in her name, as changed to by the Deed Poll.

She already has ILR, so a maximum of two years. However an extended time outside the UK will affect an application for Naturalisation. The maximum time outside the UK in the last year up to the Naturalisation application should not exceed 90 days.

Does Philippines now allow dual nationality?
