My wife's previous name was ABC - after marriage she has now taken my surname D and her previous surname C is now her middle name, hence ACD. We have already obtained a new passport from her embassy with this legal name ACD. The embassy does this by default (former surname becomes new middle name).
On the document checklist to get a replacement BRP, it asks for a deed poll or marriage certificate showing the new name. The marriage certificate shows my surname, so that explains the change in her surname, but the problem is her middle name has changed also, and we don't have a deed poll for this. Would UKVI just accept the new passport and a cover letter explaining that in her country, the middle name also changes with marriage?
