A common post-marriage situation — and a straightforward one to resolve with the right documentation.
After marriage, many women want their passport to reflect their married surname, but the passport still carries the maiden name while newer documents show the married one. That inconsistency can complicate travel, visas and verification.
There's usually no single document that officially records the surname change, so the passport office can't reconcile the two names on its own. It needs recognised proof that both belong to the same person.
See our name change after marriage and passport name change pages. The passport authorities decide the update under their rules.
Share your situation and we'll tell you honestly what's needed to fix it — and whether a Gazette is even required. No pressure, no obligation.
