UK Visa in Old Passport with Maiden Name

UK Visa in Old Passport with Maiden Name - UK flag on creased paper

My visa is in my old passport with my maiden name in it. I was issued a visa in 2014 and there was no BRP at this time yet so I don't have a BRP. I got married and have a new passport. I want to go to holiday outside UK. Shall I apply for a BRP? or can I just show my old passport and new passport? I have informed home office using the change of circumstance form (for visa).



Best Answer

Assuming your 2014 visa is still valid, bring the old passport containing that visa, the new passport, of course, and your marriage certificate (to document the change of name).

Can you keep your maiden name on your passport? You can remain with your previous passport, which has your maiden name on it. However, if you decide to renew your passport, it will be issued with your current legal name.

Can you travel with passport that has maiden name?

Your passport and social security name do not need to match. An airline or TSA will never ask for your social security card.

Can I use my old passport after name change UK?

The name on your passport must match the one you use when you book your travel. You'll be sent a new 10 year passport. Time left on your old passport will not be added to your new one.

Can I travel on my old passport after getting married?

Your old passport will be cancelled. Your new passport is 'post-dated' - you cannot use it before the ceremony. Some countries will not issue visas for post-dated passports - check with the country's embassy or consulate. You must send a 'passports for newly weds and civil partners' form with your documents.
