BLADES-EELA Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Right, I have just booked our honeymoon, in my name and my partners current name, we get married on the saturday and go on the monday. Her name will obviously change when we get married, however like i say ive booked the holiday in her name and her current passport still says her current name(obviously). How do i go about this, can she keep her current name untill we come back or will she be carrying a false passport once we sign the marrige papers.

stevematt89 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 You can use a valid passport with your maiden name untill it expires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damo Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Just leave it and say nothing until you get back. Way to much hassle to change it beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angilaruk Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 As Stevematt says, you can continue to use the passport in her maiden name until it runs out, as long as any hols are booked to match the name in the passport there isn't a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selphie Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 You have 2 choices, the first is to travel on the passport as it is which isn't illegal. The second is to change the passport prior to the wedding and honeymoon. I'm not sure how you do it because I travelled in my maiden name on my honeymoon but the travel agent assured me that I could. Get in touch with the passport agency if you want clarification but it is perfectly legal to travel on the current and valid passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert_Baehr Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Given that there may be a public sector strike at the end of June and that the Passport issuing people may well be involved, you would probably be advised to leave things as they are until after you get back.

Cynic Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 AFAIK you can leave your passport in your old name as long as you like, you just have to remember to book your flights in the same name. My wife waited till hers expired after we got married. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Ryan* Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 If it expires in 2013 say, just leave it til then. saves paying money uneeded until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidge00 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 It costs a fortune to get your name changed on a passport which is why mine is still in my maiden name 5 years after I got married! I recommend that you take a copy of your marriage certificate with you just in case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
