You should apply to update her BRP.

thank you for reply moderator!

hopefully, last question!
Do we need a Deed poll? I spoke to solicitors and they said TOC Form is incorrect and we need to get a Deed poll.
But when i saw UK BA website , there is no mention of Deed poll. I also called Home office and they said They never heard of Deed poll. Not sure if i need Deed poll or not.

Just to reiterate my status :)
I and my wife are indian citizens and my wife has a new Indian passport with updated Surname.

Can you please shed some light.

thanks a lot for your reply in advance.
Best regards
Pradhuman

What was the reason for the surname change?

What evidence did you provide to update her passport?
