Wrong mothers name

Dear All!

Hope you can help me with the below.

Upon applying for UK passport I have to provide parents details. Keeping in that when I applied for naturalisation I mentioned incorrect family name of my mother in the application. I put her maiden name instead of her current name. Fast forward, my naturalisation application with mother's maiden name on it was approved. The question is, what my mother's name shall I use for the first UK passport application?

Many thanks

Use the same name to be consistent with your naturalisation application details.

Note that parents names are NOT printed in your British passport. It is required purely for identification purposes.

Also note that you can only apply for your passport after your ceremony.
