I've currently got ILR in my maiden name, and I'm about to have a child so want to change my passport to my married name. I can't work out whether I need to change my Australian passport to my married name, and then apply for naturalisation or apply for naturalisation straight away. If I change my name in my Aussie passport first, does this mean I have to change my ILR registered name (significant cost involved!!!!)?

Any help, or previous experience would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you, I guess my further question is - if I change my Australian passport in line with the Naturalisation policy to have the foreign passport in the same name, will I then need to change my ILR card as well?

My understanding is HO needs to be advised within 3 months of a change impacting the BRP.

So if you change name and shoot for citizenship 'quickly' the BRP update becomes unnecessary.
