Both my partner from the US and I wish to change our surnames upon civil partnership. The legalities over that are fine, but it causes a problem over passports, visa etc.
What should my partner do? Is she required to send her passport back to the US for this? Would we need to have this done before we apply for the FLR visa because she thinks it could take 2 months for her passport to be changed (and we don't have a full two months after we become civil partners)?
Any thoughts on this (or other people's experience of name change after marriage) would be most welcome.
