Thankfully, I finally now have my UK citizenship certificate and am applying for a passport.
The name in my foreign passport is Miss XYZ.
I am married so would like my UK passport to say Mrs XYZ. I understand that the name must match my foreign passport, but does the title have to match?

UK Passport don't show a title, unless specifically requested, such as Dr. or Lord, or Mrs. Title is not counted as part of name, HMPO match Given/First name and Surname.

'Mrs' is not a title that can be requested as Mr, Miss, Ms, Mrs is not included in a British passport as a standard. Only professional type of titles can be included as indicated on the official website.

Titles you can use on your passport
You can include:
professional titles - for example, doctor, judge, minister of religion, professor, QC, or JP if you’re a magistrate
honours or military decorations
Put the details in the ‘other title’ box of your application and send evidence of your title.
Your title will be on the ‘observations’ page of your passport - it will not be part of your name, except if it’s a title of nobility, for example knight, dame or a lord.
