I've booked the honeymoon in my married name (Mrs Adele van der Lee..Eeeeeeeeeee) and am aware I can renew my passport a certain amount of time before the wedding (10th May)
Has anyone done this before? What documentation do I need?? I have the passport renewal form all done [did it online] what evidence is it? I know I need something from the priest but he can't sign my photo as I haven't known him personally for 2 years!!
You need confirmation from the priest that you are getting married on x date. If you google change of name on passport I think there is a form he can fill in x

If you are to be married or forming a civil partnership in the United Kingdom, and will be going abroad immediately after the ceremony, the Identity and Passport Service (IPS) can issue you with a new ten-year passport post-dated into your new name up to three months in advance of your wedding or civil ceremony date. You would receive a new passport, which will be valid for ten years and up to a further nine months, depending on the remaining validity on your current passport. If you do decide to take the option of post-dating your passport into your new name, you should be aware that: • You will need to submit your current passport along with your application form. • This passport will be cancelled, and you will no longer be able to use it for travelling. • Your new post-dated passport will be valid only from the date of your ceremony. • You will not be able to use your new passport until your ceremony has taken place. Procedure You will need to complete a standard passport application form and a Post-Date form 2 (PD2). Both forms are available by telephoning the Passport Adviceline on 0300 222 0000, via the website at www.direct.gov.uk/passports, or by calling into a regional passport office or selected Post Office® branches. You will also need the passport fee (please see overleaf), all relevant documents and two recent identical photographs of yourself, taken against an off-white, cream or light grey plain background. For other essential information on photographs please see the passport application pack or the IPS website for details. Part 1 of the PD2 form should be completed by the person who is to perform the ceremony. Part 2 of the PD2 form should be completed by you as the applicant. You should fill this form out using your current name and signature and not your future name.’ Filling in the passport application form • You should complete the application form in full using the name you wish to assume, and sign it in what will be your new name. • If your features have changed, and the form needs to be countersigned, the person who countersigns your application should endorse the back of one of your photographs as follows: 'I certify that this is a true likeness of ...................................................................... who, after marriage/civil partnership, will become ................................................. ' They should also add their signature.
