Passport in maiden name...
As some of you may know from my previous thread my partner and I are about to get married in NZ and launch my cr1 visa from here.. My question is that due to not being in the UK I will not be able to get an updated passport... And I still have years left on my current one. Does the name on my passport have to match my visa application or Is my old passport and marriage certificate enough? Thanks. Bex2203.

Is my old passport and marriage certificate enough? Note that if you purchase plane tickets, the name on the tickets must match the name in the passport. It'll make no difference that your passport and visa/marriage certificate are all different. Ian |

Thank you Ian.

No.
Yes. Note that if you purchase plane tickets, the name on the tickets must match the name in the passport. It'll make no difference that your passport and visa/marriage certificate are all different. Ian But this isn't something I would advise if the flight is important to you. Get the name changed on the ticket if required. |

My passport is in my maiden name - green card in married name - just book tickets in your maiden name and always take marriage cert when you fly -

Why is your passport in your maiden name if you don't mind me asking?

Why not? I've tried a few names over the years, but the passport has always remained the beacon of stability and now everything matches that!

What is a "legal" name? There is no obligation to change a name just because one is married.

Of course not, but to have a passport in a maiden name, yet hold other identity documents in your married name seems completely perverse to me.

It's not. There is nothing wrong with keeping a passport in one name, and other ID in another name.

Because your legal name is not your maiden name anymore. Note, though, that if you legally change your name, you can't go back to using your maiden name if, for example, you get divorced. You must go through another court process in front of a judge to change your name again. If, however, you simply assumed a spouse's surname, then you can go back to a maiden name with no problems whatsoever. Ian |
