Thanks Bhem.
Just one clarification and forgive me if i will sound daft. I dont need to worry if i use my married name on my bills, bank statement (which i will be using when i apply for ILR) for as long as my passport and brp id are both on my singe name?

thanks alot

yeah no need to worry.. i changed my name right away after the wedding even if i'm still using my maiden name in my passport.

Thanks alot. i can now breathe reading about how long people are waiting to get their replacement brp kinda put me off in changing my last name therefore when i renew my passport next week, ill keep my maiden name and just wait till ILR is out of the way.

Thanks alot Bhem, you rock

That won't be a problem. My proof of addresses when I applied for my FLR were all in married name though my passport and BRP are on my maiden name. You will only need to replace your BRP if you have renewed your passport, as both details should match....

Hello bhem_bhem, Can I ask you something? What kind of form did you used when you replaced your BRP Card?

because I was on the same situation right now, I apply a Biometric Resident Permit last year 2013, but it was on my single name and not on my married name because of my passport, I already renew my passport on my Married name and now I need to update my BRP card cos it need to be link on my passport, but I don't which form i should used? becuase there's a lot of form is link for changing a personal details.


Thank you so much for the Help..

Please go to this link for the form.

Oh my...I'm sorry Belinda. Looks like the form doesn't cover the change of name.

On this page, https://www.gov.uk/change-circumstances-visa-brp/youre-in-the-uk-and-have-a-brp, it states below:

Report all other changes

You must immediately report any changes to your:

• name (eg because you’ve got married)
• gender
• nationality
• facial appearance
• date of birth (eg because it was incorrect)

You must apply for a new BRP within 3 months. You may be fined up to £1,000 or have your stay shortened if you don’t.

You should use form NTL or TOC to report these changes and apply for a new BRP.

But I checked that NTL form and it's for ILR holders. TOC is for transfer of visa. I'm now confused! When I replaced my BRP, I used the BRP(RC) form but it has the section to change the name.

I think you better call UKVI for a clarification.

Hi MsBelinda.

With regards to the link attached, the first page will give you this information:

"Detail
Use this form:

- if your personal details have changed (holders of current biometric residence permits only)
- if your biometric residence permit has been lost, stolen or damaged
- if your biometric residence permit has expired after you have received indefinite leave to remain
- if you are a refugee (recognised under the 1951 Convention) and your immigration status document has been lost, stolen, damaged, expired; or you want to replace your immigration status document with a biometric residence permit
- if you have been granted humanitarian protection and your immigration status document has been lost, stolen, damaged, expired; or you want to replace your immigration status document with a biometric residence permit"

However, on the BRP(RC) Application form the details are different:

"Use this form:
- if your BRP has been lost, stolen or damaged
- if your BRP has expired after receiving indefinite leave to remain
- if you are a refugee (recognised under the 1951 Convention) and your ISD has been lost, stolen, damaged, expired; or you want to replace your ISD with a BRP
- if you have been granted humanitarian protection and your ISD has been lost, stolen, damaged, expired; or you want to replace your ISD with a BRP"

Definitely the first one highlighted above - changed of name has been over looked.

I agree with Rayna, it's worth contacting UKVI about this issue. Otherwise, you will end up paying £1000 if you will not update your BRP.

Good luck on your application.
