No thats no problem but when you apply BC that time send proof, so they can verify old and new surnamekarupalli wrote:Hi
My wife and me got ILR recently. My wife has different surname to my family name and we are planning to change it.
If I change the surname now (means get a new passport with different name).. will it be problem for naturalization / travel?
Thanks in advance for advising me.
As i stated above, she can apply for naturalisation by filling her married name in the name section and her maiden name in 'birth name' section, on the 'additional information' section just explain that you have decided to use your new name now. supply the marriage cert.mansawant wrote:Hi,
I am just continuing the same thread regarding name change. My wife has her Indian passport in maiden name and she came to UK on work permit with her Indian Passport after marriage. Now we all ( my wife, son and I) got ILR in August 2009 and are applying for Naturalization in next week.
My wife would like to change her name so appriciate any advice.
Do we need to wait until she receive her British Passport on her maiden name and then apply for name change or is there any way that she can apply to receive her naturalization approval on her married name and then apply for British Passport on married name.
But all her work permit documents and NI numer is on her maiden name.

Simply you can do whatever you like but if need advice so better apply new name in BC application so thats all easy way, both you can do it, and dont forget to send name change proof merriage cer. or deed poll original letter, then when you get BC certificate you can see both name first one with new name and second whatever birth time name, and yes your last Question about other document and NI number, You have to change everywhere when you recevied BC cert. or british passportmansawant wrote:Hi,

i dont believe it is necessary to change signature. in my opinion it may be better to change otherwise you would keep getting second looks everytime she signs something. if the signature is an illeigible 'scribble' then it really shouldnt make a differencemansawant wrote:Hi,
Does my wife need to change her signature when she apply for naturalisation to get BC on her married name or she can use the same singtuare on her Indian Passport which is on her maiden name. She is using the same signature everwhere in UK as she came UK on her maiden name passport and maiden name is mentioned everwhere. (e.g. at work, all home office details, bank details).
She is sending her Indian Passport (maiden name) with the naturlisation application.
Does she need to change her signature or she can carry on with the same signature in future?

You can change it via solicitor they charge you but its acceptable in UKBA,airdream wrote:Hello,
what about the forename? I'd like to amend it a ittle bit. I'm Tomasz and I' like to have my forname written as Thomas. I have never requested in paper to change it. Do you think that I'm allowed to do it during the application?
Thanks
