unmarried rc and changing names

Post by lolo82 » Sat Jun 23, 2012 12:53 am

Good evening,

I have applied for an EEA2 RC as an unmarried partner. My partner and I are getting married in the next two years. Would I need to reapply for a new RC with my married name? I will need to renew my passport in 2015 and was planning on my married name being on my passport. I would like to know if I may have issues with my name on ky RC not matching my passport.

Cheers

This is not an issue. It is common that people change their name following marriage but still have documents under the maiden name. There is no need to reapply.
