FLR M or Biometric Card

[ConfusedMe]

Soo.. sorry.. another situation

FLR M : Maiden Name
New Passport : Spouse's family name
Biometric Card : Maiden Name

Do I have to contact them and change the details in my Biometric Card? When are these instances where I'm going to use it?

I think you need to inform the home office about your new surname and you have to pay £37 pounds to apply for a new biometric card with your new surname

UKBA say this:-

"You must tell us as soon as you can if:
- you change your name (for example, because of marriage or by deed poll);
- you change your gender, legally or permanently;
- you change your nationality; or
- your facial appearance changes significantly.


If you change any personal details listed above or any details shown on your biometric residence permit, you must apply for a new permit within 3 months using application form BRP(RC). If you do not do this, you may have to pay a financial penalty of up to £1,000 or we may shorten your permission to stay. You can download the application form and guidance from the right side of this page."
