Surname change advice

Post by VR2611 » Tue Jul 21, 2026 9:53 am

Hi Team,

Please can ask for advice, I recieved my british citizenship in March, but I would like to change my surname to my husbands name before applying for British passport. I just wanted to ask if can do it before applying or after, I checked on Internet but wasnt able to find anything.

Thank you,

A British passport will be issued in the name of your foreign passport.

So if you wish to change your name, you need to change your foreign passport first
Char (CR001 not Casa)
