Thank you obotmot for clarification of your situation. I assume you have a settled/registered status with RF embassy in UK and so you did not need to also change your internal RF passport. In all other cases RF citizens who change names here will subsequently need to change back all their documnets ...
Hi glosnat. BC certificate can be amended in some cases but gonna cost you £250... https://www.gov.uk/get-replacement-citizenship-certificate Plus HO dont count BC certificate as an ID document - just a record of fact, therefore in most cases it cannot be amended as such... As per HO own policy on O...
Thank you brcr11 for this useful comment. However, the issue remains that once a UK passport is issued in maiden name this does not match all the core documents that the person uses in everyday life in the UK e.g. driver's licence, NIN, etc., etc. Plus the 7.3.creates a fundamental discrimination be...
There's already topic on this, re Certificate of Entitlement https://www.immigrationboards.com/british-citizenship/certificate-of-entitlement-to-the-right-of-abode-t177803.html which currently takes up to 6 (!) months to issue.

The HO cite says no BP can be cancelled prior to a new one being issued first... Not sure mine will be ...
Here's another interesting but old document, allegedly from Interpol UK branch, dating back to 2006 - clearly explaining different name structures, including Russian patronymics, which are not part of a person's name, but derivatives of that person's father's name - a useful piece of information abo...
Surely there are many more such cases of frustration over clear sabotage of simple rules re passports. I would ask for any response from HO in writing though - somebody saying something over the phone is hard to prove afterwards...
HMPO provided me with a long-winded explanation how to change Russian passport (don't think you need to change your birth certificate you mentioned), however as you further elaborated, the problems can arise as follows: o A Russian passport displays its holder’s name in two alphabets – Cyrillic and...
I am not so much defending HO case workers but advocating bending to the rules inorder to smoothen out the issue. Refusal of an application is not the decision by just one case worker but the decision confirmed by at least a supervisor. Once I called to clarify an issue and I was kept on hold whils...
I've been told today by Home Office that I have two identities because my Russian external passport does not translate my Patronymic name, whilst other EU passport has it present. This is absolute bonkers! How can people who been entrusted with dealing with applications for non-UK born British citi...
just a small update (if anybody interested), Peterborough Office ignored by request for observation-route page for the second time, and pushing for changing name(s) on other passports and I quote " if the issuing authority advises that the amendment can only be completed by returning to the country...
