Dear All,
I have a situation which I hope to find assistance for on this forum... Bless you all in advance.

SITIUATION: My Nigerian passport is in my old name and I have requested for a deed poll change of name which has been done. However, I was told I'd have to go to Nig. to get it changed on my passport (not going to happen now because of my education). My problem is, can I change my name on my British Passport (during naturalization) even though my Nig. one still shows my old name?

Pls help :(

Hi Funkzz

I would like to know, how did it go with your change name on your Nigerian passport, what did you do?

Think I'm in a similar position, like you were and I need advice.

Suggest contact your embassy. The rules regarding different names on different passports has changed in the UK and HO and HMPO will not issue BC or passports in a different name to the foreign passport.
