"A passport is a privilege, not a right" is beloved by governments. The best the courts will do is insist on consistently and fairly applied rules for refusing passports. A passport is neither a 'privilege' or a 'right'. 1. A passport is an identification document generally recognized by the intern...

Why not just apply for passport on your maiden name?

Mashec, You do not need to change your internal passport if you are not register in Russia. But because you have registration and do not wish to cancel it, you can't change your name via Russian Embassy. Change name in Russia via Registry Office can be very quickly. I managed to do it within 1 worki...

Yes, Russian. I can't change my documents via embassy. If I could I wd have done it 3 years ago. The whole problem lies in the fact that I have to go to Russia to change my internal passport and then come bk and change external passport via embassy. Embassy refused to give me letter to prove it, th...

Mashec - what is your aim here? 1) are you trying to amend your certificate of naturalisation (near to impossible) OR 2) Are you trying to get a UK passport in your maiden name? If only 2, why do you really care about amending certificate? Just make your own deed poll, use 2 witnesses and send to H...

Case is with MP hopefully. Given the prints from this forum and also the 4th page of guidance if you apply from outside UK that that HMPO will mention old name on observation. Different rules if you are outside UK you can get passport with old name on observation but if you are inside UK you won't ...

I need My local MP to compliant to HMPO, hers is a link: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/...

Hello all Would passport office accept to issue the passport on my maiden name, if naturalisation is on married name, provided I can show that I use my maiden name for all purposes? My husband being British (without experience of all the rules and problems that non-British face) insisted to change ...

I am sorry to intervene in the conversation. em-em, your knowledge of english grammar doesn't matter for your life in Uk test. If you only can read and understand what you read, this would be enough. And I am sure you can, if you could write english. To pass the test you should make time to study th...

Moreover, when I applied for naturalisation (and I remember same was your wife's application), this new rules didn't exist. Then when policy of name change introduced, Home Office just issued nat.certificate on different name than in our passports and left us to sort it ourselves. They have correcte...

You will have to change your home passport first or insist Home Office to change name in you naturalisation certificat. It may be easier before your citizenship ceremony? The problem is HMPO policy is out of kilter with HO naturalisation policy. So HO will happily naturalise in married name when gi...
