Name Change in UK passport
« on: May 23, 2022, 04:54:43 PM »
I recently was granted dual citizenship in the UK. In the UK, I use my married name on all official documents. However, I haven't changed my name from my maiden name in the US, and my US passport and my citizenship paperwork is all in my maiden name. Can I apply for a British passport in my married name, or does it have to be in my maiden name?

You can only apply for your British passport in the exact name on your US passport.

So, what you will need to do is:
- apply for your UK passport in your maiden name

And then either:
- keep both passports in your maiden name

Or:
- change your name in your US passport
- change your name in your UK passport
