Passport & changing name by deed poll

anon987

Hi all,

Hope this is the right place to put this!

If I change my name by deed poll, do I have to change it immediately on my passport?

I have some travel booked late this year in my current name (and they won't change it, I asked!) which matches my passport and don't want to change my passport until it expires next year.

Thanks

as long as the tickets match the passport thats fine

Does it say this on the deed poll that you sign.

[I [old name] of [your address] have given up my name [old name] and have adopted for all purposes the name [new name].

I changed to my married name on everything apart from my passport which still has I think 7 years left on it and Im not paying to have it renewed again until it expires. Im fine to travel with it as long as my flight/holiday is booked using my maiden name. Its never caused any issues

You need to get a new passport if you change any of the following:

your name
your gender
your appearance, if you can!!!8217;t be recognised from your passport photo any more (for example, you!!!8217;ve had plastic surgery)

You won!!!8217;t be allowed to travel if you book your travel under a different name from what!!!8217;s on your passport.

It costs £75.50 to apply online or £85 to apply with a paper form from the Post Office.

You!!!8217;ll be sent a new 10 year passport. Up to 9 months of unexpired time on your old passport will be added to your new passport.
Changes you don!!!8217;t have to report

You don!!!8217;t have to tell HM Passport Office or get a new passport if you:

change your address or contact details
get a new job
change your appearance slightly - for example, dye your hair or grow a beard
change your marital status (divorce, marry or form a civil partnership) but keep your name
change your title, for example, doctor or professor
become a national of another country as well as the UK
emigrate
