Hello Members,
I am creating a thread out of another member’s experience with HMPO (Passport office). See exerts below. Can HMPO do this? I am in the same boat and what should I reply with if I receive a similar call. Is it based on some law or just one case worker’s preference?

I discussed the long saga previously on this thread.
Long story short, we originally applied under my wife's maiden name (which is what her spousal visa, ILR, and naturalisation applications are under and approved!) and they didn't like that. So we had to submit a new application form, photographs and her marriage certificate under her married name.
All sorted now. Passport received. We are happy and just waiting for the marriage certificate to be returned.

Pretty much.
They effectively said, without the changes, they can't approve the passport.
I mean to be fair she probably would have changed it eventually anyway, but it just created unnecessary delay and hassle.
Thanks.
