    Ok can someone help me as I'm a little confused!:(

    We have booked out Honeymoon with my married name so I now need to change my passport. I've printed off and filled in the PD2 Form.

    Now do I send this to the Registrar and they fill it in then send it back to me? Then I send it off with my new passport form?
    yes

    Men get off lightly here! Just over 4 weeks married for me and I've barely changed anything! I'll do my passport after Christmas as I can't afford to pay for a new one right now but some things ask for passport to prove ID and of course if I've changed ny name then my passport doesn't match! Some are dead easy - e-mail a scanned copy of my marriage certifcate and they're happy. Others want it in writing with an original document which they return but can't say how quickly. I'd recommend ordering 2 certificates to have on your day - it's cheaper than paying for another one later on. it means now I do always have one original on me if I send one away.
    I know what you mean about being Mr and Mrs on honeymoon but when I'd booked ours I booked in my old name...hubby mailed them to say it was our honeymoon and tried to blag an upgrade but they said we'd have to pay. We decided we would anyway and the upgrade was to have been added on to our bill when we left, but when we checked out, the bill was as Mr and Mrs and we got the upgrade for no cost!
