Is there any reason you don't just have a look it on your Personal Tax Account?

What help do you need with knowing if you have had previous names 🤔

the question 05 previous names,

For example, a woman's maiden name.

Thus Mrs Mary BROWN is applying for the forecast but she was formerly Miss Mary SMITH.

Or a person might now be applying for his forecast as JOHN GREEN but his birth certificate shows WILLIAM GREY (change of name by Deed Poll).

Hi & thank you for your reply. I really just need to know if I have to put in a former married surname??

Yes because at some stage your NI record would have been linked to that surname, all names could be used when trawling the records for completeness.  Also when claiming the pension the same will be asked and, although no longer completely relevant, former spouse NI records could be used in determining pension entitlement
