Remember to send it recorded delivery each time Costs about 70p and covers you up to £32. If it gets lost when they send it back and they didnt send it recorded delivery then they're liable to pay for a new copy. But if it gets lost on the way to them and you haven't send it recorded delivery its not covered

That reminds me - i'll have to inform the National Insurance people that i've not got a double-barralled name (my maiden name and my husband's surname). No ned to change my passport for i'd say a good 10 years as I have absolutely no plans to go abroad, plus my husband is scared of flying and would never fly for any amount of money

As I understand it You don't HAVE TO DO ANYTHING!!!

If you want you can use either name, but I think legally you are the name which you sign the register as.

You can also use your maiden name for work, banks etc if you want, it's like a Common Usage law .

My Bezzie m8s missus hasn't changed her name on lots of things, so she uses both.

Basically Your Choice, but if you wanna change it you can't do it before the wedding, but you can get the paperwork and prepare it before.

Hope I have helped more than Hindered

i just added DH's name to mine when we married, so have gone all posh and doubled barreled1 but as a rule i still use my maiden name and only use mrs ******* if it makes life easier when we do something together(dealing with estate agents when we moved etc etc). I have a slightly 'stroppy attitude'when it came to changing my name(was adopted as a child and have to produce enough paperwork as it is when it comes to anything legal!), in my mind the bloke would never dream of taking your name so why assume you have to take his?!? I shall now get down off my soapbox and leave you all alone!! :P

I only just started to change my name.......Was being lazy (got married 06/05/2005) In america, you have to change with the Department of Motor Vehilces first and I hate the DMV so that is what took me so long. Plus I went from a very Easy name to a Russian last name......... Could kill my husband for that one...

Im sure that no mater what country you live in it just takes time....Im done...Finally!
