A registered marriage gives you a certificate β but changing your name is a separate step. Here's how they fit together.
A court or registered marriage produces a marriage certificate that proves the marriage, which is helpful. But updating your name β adding a husband's name or taking a new surname β is a separate act, and authorities generally want recognised proof of the name change itself, not only proof of the marriage.
See name change after marriage and the marriage certificate vs Gazette comparison; each authority updates under its own rules.
Tell us the married name you want and where you'll use it, and we'll guide the route and documents.
