Help needed for BC application (Section 1.5 / 1.6)

Post by Blondie » Sun Jul 21, 2013 9:05 am

Hi All,

My maiden's name is on my passport and ILR. My bank account, driving license, P60, utilities, council tax, etc are all in my married name.

When I applied for my ILR last year, I was told to use the name according to my passport even though I've been married for 8 years. Now that I'm applying for BC, I'm not sure whether I should fill in my married name or maidens name.

"PLEASE NOTE THAT THE NAME, PLACE AND DATE OF BIRTH ENTERED ON THE APPLICATION FORM WILL APPEAR ON YOUR CERTIFICATE OF NATURALISATION AND CAN BE CHANGED ONLY IN THE MOST EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES"

"Your name at birth must be given on the application form, for identity purposes, but may be omitted from your certificate of British citizenship if you have a special reason for requesting this - for example because you were adopted or are no longer living in the gender you were considered to have at the time of your birth."

1.5 Enter your surname or family name as you want it to appear on your certificate.

1.6 Enter your other names as you want them to appear on your certificate.

If I am to fill in my maiden's name but would want my married name to be on the certificate, what do I need to do please?

Thank you.
