Can you wait a while after youre married to change your surname?

As changing your name is a personal choice I think you can do it at any stage, as long as all your documents are consistent etc


For most stuff to be changed you just need to provide your marriage certificate (or a copy) and whoever it is will update their records. Therefore you can do this at any stage

You can do it whenever, My only recommendation is to remember to book flights in your passport name, a friend didn't and then had to pay to change the name! You will need to send your Marriage Cert to change certain things such as bank, driving license, passport and medical so order a few copies so you can send off at the same time, or you will have to wait for it to be returned and resend, but check as some ask for the original and wont accept certified copies

You can change it whenever suits you but like other people have said be careful with your passport x
