sorry i dont! i was wondering this! h2b said about it the other day when he was drunk and said change it for things that dont matter like work then changed his mind in the morning! i assume you have to show wedding certs so afterwards but only guessing xx

My Sister got married in June and my friend in July, they both waited until after their honeymoons and got passport driving licence, bills etc all done afterwards. Unless your honeymoon flight tickets are booked under your new name in which case you will need to start changing stuff asap. Debenhams also sell a change your name kit i think its like £9.99 to help people make sure they get everything changed.

I was wondering this too. Think i'll wait till we get home from honeymoon to sort it all out. xx
i have booked my honeymoon in new name and im about to send off for my new passport.. does that mean i have to change my name in everything else first?

The only thing you can change before is the passport. Everything else requires wedding certificate.

I wonder as well as I am French, and it will be a longer process for me to change it, my h2b is going to change is name with deed poll end of the month (personal reasons) and I actually wonder if I don't want to do that as well so I would have plenty of time to change my passport and everything beforehand.

Everything is now booked
Getting really stressed and excited now

"IPS can change the name on your passport up to three months before the ceremony. They will cancel your old passport and issue you a new one. But the new passport is 'postdated'. This means you cannot use it before the day of the ceremony. Some countries will not issue visas for postdated passports. You should check with the consulate of the country concerned.
If you decide to amend your passport before the ceremony To amend your passport before the ceremony, you need form (PD2) and leaflet (PD1) 'Passports for Newly Weds and Civil Partners'. These documents explain what you need to do - you can get them:
by downloading them as PDF files from Post Office branches that offer the Check & Send service from any Regional Passport Office by calling the IPS Passport Adviceline 0300 222 0000 to get them sent out to you The form should be completed partly by you and partly by the person who is to conduct the ceremony. The leaflet explains this in more detail."

The changing name thing is another reason why we're waiting to go on honeymoon! Gives me plenty of time to get my passport changed after! I want to go in my married name :)

My passport and driving licence are both due to be renewed in 2013 so I thought I'd just wait until then.

But if my passport and everything else is the same name why does it matter?

I wanted to go on honeymoon as a Mrs but we booked under my maiden name so I can't now. I just always assumed that I'd be a Mrs on honeymoon.
