Hi Guys,

Recently I got my citizenship approved.
Im trying to get minor correction(additional letter) in my British passport at least, as i never had chance to correct my Ind passport. I thought may be its simple while applying new UK passport.
I was wondering if any one have corrected names. can you please advise simple route please?
Do we have to provide supporting document for first time British passport applications as well?

Many Thanks,
RR17

Not going to be possible. HMPO are even clamping down on names changes for married women who have maiden name documents for naturalisation and then want passports in married name.

Best option would be to apply for your passport as your name has to match your certificate and foreign passport, and once you have your new British passport, apply for a deed poll to change your name and then reapply for a British passport with the deed poll.
