Re: Easiest way to change to married name on Passport?

Thanks, I understand this, however I am unable to change my SA passport as I have not applied to keep dual citizenship via the South African High Commision, and effectively I am no longer a SA citizen even though my SA passport is effectively still current. Its a bit of a catch 22 situation.

Re: UK Ancestry Visa from South Africa

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, we are aware of the £2000 IHS fee and the need for a TB cert. My father has his own birth certificate, but so far his brothers have been unable to find his mothers birth and marriage certificates. They are not 100% sure that they were married in SA, but as his grandf...
