Surname Change to Married before or after Naturalisation
Posted: Mon Nov 16, 2015 3:55 pm
Hi all,
Your assistance will be much appreciated. I will be using a substitute name for example purposes
My wife will be applying for Naturalisation in December after 3 years stay as a spouse of British citizen on 2 year route
On all her documents, including our marriage certiricate, BRP, etc, she has her name as Roxanna Begum Lena, with Lena being her surname (Mrs Lena).
She wants to change her name to take my surname, Ahmad, so it will become Roxanna Ahmad. This is what ideally we want on her Passport and any subsequent letters .
Before applying for Naturalisation, can she apply with the new name or do we have to wait until after receiving the passport?
Ideally i would like to at the time of applying of Naturalisation, apply with the new name and just include the deed poll letter. Do i need to do anything for the deed poll letter?
Many thanks all
