Skip name change in BRP card

Post by sma_tier1 » Mon Dec 19, 2016 10:19 am

Dear friends,

Need your guidance here.

I am eligible for British Naturalisation. I want to change my Surname. To keep the naturalisation process simple, I was recommended by colleagues to first change my surname in my Indian passport and then go for British Naturalisation.

My query is :
After changing my surname in my Indian Passport, can I directly apply for Naturalisation, thereby skipping (and saving £308) the change of name in BRP card.
Or
should I change the name in BRP card also and then go for British naturalisation ?

Thanks,
sma

What is the reason for the change?

What supporting evidence will you have to show HO why your name changed?
Char (CR001 not Casa)

My Indian passport has my husband's family name as my surname. I want to use my parent's family name.

I will show HO, the name change deed poll from a solicitor.
