Change of passport name after marriage?

[jasper999]

When is her passport gonna expire? (that MRP maroon you are talking about) I have the same one but the validity of the passport is until 2016.

I used my married name straight away after the marriage in council/utility/TV license registration. When I applied for FLR(M) all the documents addressed to me that I submitted were in my married name. I even used my married name in filling the application form except in one section that needing my details that appears in my passport (still in my maiden name until now).

I did not bother to change my name on my passport after my FLR(M) as it is still valid until 2016...but I will soon before I will apply for my citizenship next year.

Sorry, her passport is the e-passport, issued in 2012.

I like the idea of using the married name for the utility companies etc and just leaving the passport as is for the time being.

Many Thanks
