Want to add surname on BRP and passport

Post by vivek.gupta2001 » Fri Sep 04, 2015 11:20 am

Hi Group,

Me and my wife are in UK under indefinite leave to remain.
My wife has only one legal name which creates problem everywhere since surname is mandatory in IT systems today :( .

I understand changing name on passport will be easy.

How do i add surname on her BRP and inform UKBA about this.

regards,
Vivek

This is not replacement as replacement is for following cases
within 3 months if it was lost, stolen or damaged while you were in the UK
within 1 month if you’re returning to the UK on a ‘replacement BRP visa’
My case BRP will involve change of name

If i am not wrong i will have to apply for transfer of visa to new passport.

But meanwhile passport name is now <firstname lastname> but brp is only firstname.
Will it create problem to go to India in this state where current passport has firstname + lastname but brp has just firstname
