Surname on passport for honeymoon

I believe you can apply for your passport in you married name up to nine months before the wedding. There's a few other threads on here I think, have a search around and there should be a better answer than mine ?

My passport runs out on 30th March and we marry on the 5th April. I spoke to the passport office and you can get a form that is signed by your vicar/registrar to say you will marry on x date. Send that in max of 3 months before your wedding & they will issue a passport in your married name. But, you won't be able to use your passport until you're married obviously! Form is PD2 off the passport office website.

Oh, and you must remember to book holiday, flights etc in your new name too! X

I looked into this before booking my honeymoon as my passport has expired. As u have to pay full price to change your name it makes sense for me to get new one in married name. It can be done 3 mths before the wedding and will be post dated to your wedding date. You have to get a form to fill in and get your registrar to sign it to confirm the ceremony is booked. You also have to make sure if your passport is going to be in your married name that u book your honeymoon in your married name. Hope that makes sense.... On i phone and its jumpy so can't see what I am typing!!! Jen x
