Change name through marriage

Post by Mariabel » Fri Dec 29, 2017 4:26 am

Hi!
I am writing to ask advice on how to change into my married name on my British naturalisation certificate. I became a British citizen in 2015 but have not applied my passport yet. I wanted to change my naturalization certificate changed into my married name before applying for my british passport. Please can you advice me on how to do this?
Thank you very much.

My understanding is that you cannot change your name on your naturalisation certificate.

Please DO NOT send me a PM for immigration advice. I reserve the right to ignore the PM and not respond.

You can't change your name on your naturalisation certificate. The same way you can't change your name on your birth certificate just because you are married. Apply for the british passport with your naturalisation certificate and your marriage certificate.
