    Boots advantage card if she has one (not that they really matter!)

    Reward cards such as Tesco etc?

    TV License (depending on who's name it was in)

    Private Health Care

    Vets (if any animals owned)

    my dentist and doctors and work accepted my change of name without id /license over the phone i would say your driving license and also if you are registered for treatment of any kind at the hospital sounds daft but my doctors didnt pass my info on and was still in my other name

    you can wait for the passport, as long as you book your tickets in the same name as what's on the passport. I'm waiting for mine to expire before i fork out another fortune

    Hi all,

    I'm recently married... Now for me there is no name change :beer:, but for the wife it's a different matter.

    Tom


    Congratulations. You may like to call her "My wife" though, if you plan on keeping her;)

    Blimey, I haven't told anyone (except the people who matter, obviously - friends and family). Why on Earth would TV license want to know you're married? Or even the doctor/employer etc. Is that just if you've changed your name? I now go by Mrs nyname, Mrs Hisname, Mrs myname-hisname and all the above with Ms, oh and Miss myname at work. Basically, I'll answer to anything :rotfl:
