Married in Mexico, help re changing surname

Hi.
We have just been married in Mexico and my wife will be taking my surname. What is the process for changing it with the bank (natwest) and our wedding certificate is in spanish, wil this still be acceptable? Also what about driving license, mortgage companies etc (And any others you can think of, did do a search before putting this up but there didnt seem to be any results)

Thanks in advance

    Should be fine as long as they see the original as they have to certify a copy of the certificate.

    If your mortgage is with Natwest aswell, they can just send it to the mortgage centre.
    Anything that I do say, is strictly my opinion :p

    Cheers for that. Unfortunately we have 3 mortgages, 1 with skipton, one with Mortgage express and one with amber.
