Life in the UK, English test and PR in maiden name

Post by chimerka » Mon Oct 03, 2016 3:22 pm

Hi, I did life in the UK test and English test just one month before HO changed requirements for naturalization and added DCPR . So instead of applying for citizenship I had to do PR , spent forever looking for documents, applied and should get my PR soon. During process I got married to British citizen and my PR card will be still in maiden name , as it takes 8 months to change my name and register my marriage in Slovakia. So I will apply for naturalization with new passport where will be my married name and Life in the UK, English test and PR certificate will be in my maiden name. I know PR is fine, as many people get married after PR and before citizenship, but how is it with Life in the UK and English test? Surely as they will get all evidence of marriage it will be clear , especially as name on them will match my PR certificate. Or will I have to do them again? Thank you. I could even send my maiden and married passport I believe I can keep the old one....Thank you

It is fine, should not be an issue at all as you have proof of marriage. As long as your foreign passport is in your married name, you should be fine.
