My previous post was related to Naturalisation - this is for my passport, sorry I don't mean to repeat myself. I understand I could get a deed poll to apply in my married name but because I need the passport to travel asap applying in my maiden name seemed the more straight forward route for the mea...
Thank you very much for your response. You mentioned getting your names right. My certificate is being issued in my maiden name as per all paperwork - If I wanted to apply for my British passport in my married name providing a marriage certificate would this be a problem or do i just apply in my mai...
Hi I was hoping somebody might be able to help with a query I have. How soon after attending my Citizenship Ceremony can I apply for my British Passport? I need to travel fairly soon after I attend my Ceremony so really do need to send off for my passport ASAP. Has anyone had any experience or knowl...
Thank you for your contributions and advise. I thought I would send a quick word of inspiration to those applying that as long as you have your paperwork in order there is light at the end of the tunnel.

So to summarise, from what I understand, my best way forward is to send my application with both my maiden name in 1.5 and my married name in 1.6 and then state the reason why this is different from the name on my passport is because of marriage and pr...
First of all thank you for response. When I was going through the process I was advised to keep all my immigration paperwork in my maiden name therefore I never updated my surname with HO as everything remained in my maiden name. I completely understand that my urgent and that of the HO is not the s...
Firstly I apologise if there is another post regarding this and I'm missing it. I have found a number of issues regarding the same thing but dated and criteria changes constantly. What I would presume is such a simple question like what is your married name and what is your maiden name and move onto...
