Different name on PR card than passport
Hi,
I updated my British passport to my married name as it was up for renewal. I sent my PR card to be updated to my married name as it has my maiden name even though I received it through spousal sponsorship. The wait time is 191 days to receive the updated card and I sent it around the end of August.
I have a flight booked to the UK before I will receive my updated card. I still have my old PR card. Will I be refused re-entry if I try to use my old PR card which doesn't match my passport name?
I am desperate to visit my family to show them their grandaughter.
Thanks

Also carry your old cancelled passport with you showing your maiden name assuming it was returned when you renewed.
