Surname change advice

[VR2611]

Hi Team,

Please can ask for advice, I recieved my british citizenship in March, but I would like to change my surname to my husbands name before applying for British passport. I just wanted to ask if can do it before applying or after, I checked on Internet but wasnt able to find anything.

Thank you,

A British passport will be issued in the name of your foreign passport.

So if you wish to change your name, you need to change your foreign passport first
