Both changing our name - advice

Threadgold, 11 of September of 2022 at 11:38 Posted on Planning 0 2

Hi there,

We're getting married on 22nd October! I'm so excited. We've decided to both change our name to an old family name. I would then also put my maiden name as a middle name.

Has anyone had to do this or is planning to do this?

There's really different advice online about how to go about it. I don't know whether we should just change by deed poll after the wedding, but some other sites are suggesting that we change my partner's ahead of the wedding and then use the marriage certificate to change mine (though I think the middle name is an added complication). I don't know if we have time now to change my partner's ahead of the wedding.

Any advice?

    I would say is easier to just do it all by deed poll as you say, you are short on time and have the added complication of middle name change

    I might be wrong, but I think if you're using your maiden name as a middle name you'd need a deed poll. I changed my last name some years ago by deed poll and it was really quick and easy to do though - hopefully that might be a bit of reassurance!
