Thanks for this informative video. Please, did you use COURT AFFIDAVIT as one of the docs for the change of name? I watched some videos which say that it's required.
Hi, Thanks for watching my video. Yes, I used a court affidavit. I’m not sure if it’s a mandatory requirement especially for people who have a reason to change their names while resident in the UK. I hope this helps ❤️
Hi, thanks for the video. It’s very informative. If I may ask, what’s the difference between a statutory evidence of change of name and a court affidavit? All I have is an affidavit and a newspaper publication. Secondly, where and how do I get the acknowledgment slip? Please do well to reply. I’ll really appreciate your response
Hi, An affidavit and a news paper publication should suffice. For the acknowledgment slip, go to the payment receipt page, at the bottom of the page you would find a link to receipt and acknowledgment slip.
Thank you for the video, please did you have to do anything from Nigeria before being able to change your name in the UK? Because I had a civil wedding in Nigeria and traveled back to the UK without doing anything else.
Hi 👋 Thanks for watching my video😊 I also did a change of name in Nigeria (affidavit). However your marriage certificate should suffice for a change of name on your passport in the UK alongside other required documents. I hope this helps.
Hi, thank you for watching 😃 Yes I did newspaper notification in Nigeria but I don’t think it’s very useful here in the UK. Your marriage certificate should suffice. I hope this helps ♥️
Hello Dimma! Thank you for this. I just want to know; when you were filling the form online, did you use your husband’s surname (as in your new NIN) or your father’s name (as in your old passport)? Thanks 🙏🏻
Hello Dimma! Thank you for this. I just want to know; when you were filling the form online, did you use your husband’s surname (as in your new NIN) or your father’s name (as in your old passport)? Thanks 🙏🏻
Hi Iroka, Thank you for watching! I used my husband's surname when filling the form as that will be how your name will appear on the passport. I hope this helps ♥️
Hi 👋 A Nigerian newspaper publication is fine but if you don’t have it, you should be okay. I doubt it’s a strict requirement especially here in the UK.
Hi Dinma, thanks for this video, it is really helpful. i would like to ask where and how you got your change of name publication in the UK? I understand that if it were in Nigeria, one will only need to provide a news paper publication which shows the new name. Is this the same in th UK?
Hi Sandra, Thanks for watching my video ♥️ I got my change of name publication in Nigeria right before I left. If you are resident outside of Nigeria, you will not require a change of name publication from Nigeria. A Statutory evidence of change of name will suffice. I have just gotten the list (requirement for change of name) below from the commission’s website. - Application Letter. - Certificate of Death of spouse from National Population Commission (NPC). - Evidence of Maiden Name. - In case of Re-marriage, Certificate of Marriage with Current Spouse. - Sworn Affidavit from a Magistrate or High Court of Change of Name deposed to by Applicant. - Copy of Newspaper Publication of Change of Name (21 days after publication). - Statutory evidence of change of name (if resident outside Nigeria in lieu of v and vi). - Passport Booklet and Copy of Data Page of passport. - Acknowledgement Slip & Evidence of Payment. I hope this helps 😊
Hi, thank you for watching my video 😊 For your NIN you should use your new surname as that’s what will appear on your new passport. I hope this helps❤️
Hello @DinmaArinze, I appreciate your response. Just to clarify, the NIN appointment requires me to bring my passport. Should I bring my old passport since I haven't received the new one yet?
Thanks for your video…it was really detailed. I’ll like to ask that can I use my affidavit Nigerian change of name or do I need to do a new one here.thanks in anticipation
Update: Just received my new passport and it took just 2weeks (appt date -25/06/2024 and collected 12/07/2024). I changed my name and my new passport is for ten years ( what I chose). They gave preference to pregnant women and those with babies and it was more organized and not as stressful as I thought. Thanks for your guidance❤
Hi Dinma, Thanks for this information, I just want to ask regarding the change of spouse name, did you pay another £40 postal order as fee for change of name endorsement aside from the 20 pounds postal order addressed to the Nigerian high commission(which i have with me presently). I'm a bit confused here cos my wife is going for her passport renewal and I'm trying to get all the necessary information needed regarding dis aspect. Kindly guide me thru this cos i came across this 40 pounds aspect. Will be expecting ur reply.
Hi, At the time I changed mine, I didn’t pay for Change of name endorsement. All I need was the consent letter signed by my husband. Please check the website to be sure this hasn’t changed. I hope this helps.
Thank you for this video. Been looking for one of these. Please I want to ask; I don’t have NIN at the moment. I wanted to do but the guy asked me to hold on as we were not sure if to do it with my current surname or my new surname. So please do I have to do NIN with my husband name or with my current surname. Thank you 🙏
Hi 👋 Thank you for watching my video ♥️ Your name on your NIN should be your new surname. The name on your NIN has to match the name on your application form (which should be your new surname). I hope this helps 😊
I changed my name on my NIN but my NIN is showing marital status as single? Was this the same for you? and what did you do? Did you apply for your passport like that?
Thank you for this video. Please what name did you fill for maiden name, because while filling the form, it says mother's maiden name but after filling, it comes out as maiden name (not mother's). So did you fill your former surname as maiden name or your mother's maiden name?
Hi, Thanks for watching my video ♥️ A copy of your marriage certificate is what is required so not your original marriage certificate. I believe this is because whatever document you give them, they keep. I hope this helps 😊
hi Dinma, thank you for your video, it is super helpful. please when filling the application form online for change of name by marriage, do you fill your initial name(maiden name) or name you are changing to(husband's name). if it is filled wrongly, please do you know if it can be changed online
Hi, Thanks for watching my video ♥️ On the application you should fill only the name you want on your passport which will be your husband’s surname. If you fill your maiden name, the passport will come in your maiden name and you will have to go through another process of updating the data on your passport. I hope this helps 😊
Please when applying for change of name on brp, 1. Do I start the application in my new name or the old name? Because i came across where they're asking me what i want to change and when i clicked name; they asked me to type the new name I want to change to. 2. Can i submit online bank statement? And If i have both personal and joint account and i want to submit my personal bank account statement, does my husband need to sign the part 2 of the consent form? The last please, what do they mean by a current national passport ? Please people who have ideas kindly help me out. Thanks
Hello, It arrived after some weeks. This is usually written on the slip you leave the commission with. If you haven’t received your passport after the date indicated, you can call the commission or send an email requesting an update. This was what I did in my case. I hope this helps ♥️
Please advise on the type of affidavit you use. I've got magistrate one and I was told I need the high court affidavit. Pls advise on the one you use and did you get it from Nigeria court?
Hi, Yes, you would start with your NIN as it is one of the required documents for a change of name in your passport. The name you want on your new passport must be the same name on your NIN.
Hi, No I didn’t, if you got married in the UK or didn’t change your name in Nigeria, your marriage certificate should suffice. However, confirm this on the commission’s website before your visit.
@@DinmaArinze I'm sorry I'm not sure my question is clear. To clarify, I'm asking if in the UK, you had to update the Department for Work and Pensions before/after you updated your HR at work just as you did with your BRP?
Thanks a lot for this helpful video, I am trying to change my name on the portal but did not see where to select renewal reason being for change of name. Please guide me. Thank you
Hi, Thanks for watching my video 😊 I would have sent you a screenshot of where to look but the commission’s website is currently down. I will check again and send you screenshots when it’s back up. ♥️
Thank you for this video. Please how do I track my passport. Please how do I pay for 24hrs? I need it to renew my visa bef month end. Besides, I love ur smile.
Hi, Thanks for watching my video ♥️ During your application, you would be given tracking details to track your application with the commission. You would also be required to buy a self addressed envelope to return your passport. You can buy the next day delivery, that way you get you passport the next day after it’s been dispatched by the commission. For completing the process within 24hrs at the commission, I’m not very sure about this. I know in the past you could pay £100 or more for fast track, I don’t know if that is still available. Please confirm this from the commission’s website. I hope this help 😊
Hello sis...Please can a change of name be done on a passport even when it has not expired? Question 2 Can One Renew a brp with a changed surname even when the surname on the passport has not been changed.. Thanks as I await your feedback
Hi, really great video. However, I’m not changing my name due to marriage. I am changing my name due to a family decision. Is this still the same process? I am a man btw

Hy I have done my newspaper publication and Nin last year around august, hope the date I did the newspaper application is still valid, or is there a timeframe to do this?
Also my BRP would be expiring alongside my visa first week in February, on getting my new passport in my husband name, do I need to change name on my BRP again or a new one would come following my visa renewal..
Hi again 😊 If you apply for your renewal with your new surname, your BRP will be in the new name, but if you apply for renewal before your change of name, you have you have apply for a change of name on your BRP. I hope this helps 😊
Hi, This might be an affidavit with news paper publication of change of name if you did it in Nigeria, a marriage certificate or an your NIN with your new name.
I got married here in the Uk. Please What do i take in place of change of name publication. Do you think the marriage certificate will suffice as statutory evidence?
Hi! Yes your marriage certificate will suffice. Don’t forget to include a consent letter from your husband and a copy of his passport data page. I hope this helps ♥️
I doubt you need a change of circumstance form for change of name you can confirm this on the government site. The link to apply for change of name on your BRP would also be on the site. It’s easy and straightforward.
Hi I need to get surname added on my husband, daughter and my name. If I get changed on Indian passport will it have any effect on current uk visas and in future while applying PR. Please let me know
Hi, All you need to do is change your names on your BRP and other relevant documents. It shouldn’t have a negative effect. There is always a field to include your precious names in applications. I hope this helps.
Hi dear, my passport is expiring soon, i have done my NIN change of name in uk, did newspaper publication with Nigeria while in the UK, is there any other document i need, and will they accept the newspaper publication done in Nigeria?. Which is the right link for the application. Thanks as i wait for your response
Hi, Yes, newspaper publication done in Nigeria will be accepted. I included a list of required documents in my video. You can also confirm this on the commissions website before you apply. Link to commission website - www.nigeriahc.org.uk/ I hope this helps ♥️

Hello Dinma, I want to process passport renewal, however I’ll also need to apply for my post study visa before January. Since I want to change the name on the passport to my husband’s name, I’m wondering if it will affect my post study visa application since the name they know on the passport I applied for my student visa with is my maiden name, please do you have any idea about this please
Hi Chikamso, hopefully this shouldn’t be a problem because in your application there will be a field where you can add any previous names. Also ensure you include all the relevant documents (old passport, new passport marriage certificate etc), I have come to realize providing more information/documents always helps. Thank you for watching my video. I’m happy to answer any more questions ♥️
Hi, I’m not sure what application letter you mean. If you mean consent letter, your spouse can write why you are changing your name and that he is happy for you to take his name and sign 😊
Please i am in the same Nin predicament. Can you give me the persons number. I need help. Been waiting since September and i have to go for my renewal in Feb.
I love your smile😂😂
Second time watching this video and it’s like am watching a video I watched already 😅

Thanks for this info. How long did it take to receive your new passport with the name change back?
It took a while for mine to come back. This was about a year ago.
The recent process time is shorter, my husband got his back in less than a week.

Thank you for the info. I want to ask about the change of name publication. Should be done with Nigerian newspaper or just any publication in the uk?

If you are resident outside of Nigeria, you will not require a change of name publication from Nigeria. A Statutory evidence of change of name will suffice.
I have just gotten the list (requirement for change of name) below from the commission’s website.
- Application Letter.
- Certificate of Death of spouse from National Population Commission (NPC).
- Evidence of Maiden Name.
- In case of Re-marriage, Certificate of Marriage with Current Spouse.
- Sworn Affidavit from a Magistrate or High Court of Change of Name deposed to by Applicant.
- Copy of Newspaper Publication of Change of Name (21 days after publication).
- Statutory evidence of change of name (if resident outside Nigeria in lieu of v and vi).
- Passport Booklet and Copy of Data Page of passport.
- Acknowledgement Slip & Evidence of Payment.

Hello Dinma, I want to process passport renewal, however I’ll also need to apply for my post study visa before January. Since I want to change the name on the passport to my husband’s name, I’m wondering if it will affect my post study visa application since the name they know on the passport I applied for my student visa with is my maiden name, please do you have any idea about this please
Hi Chikamso, hopefully this shouldn’t be a problem because in your application there will be a field where you can add any previous names.
Also ensure you include all the relevant documents (old passport, new passport marriage certificate etc), I have come to realize providing more information/documents always helps.
Thank you for watching my video. I’m happy to answer any more questions ♥️
Hi Chika, I can relate with your comment because I am in the same suitation now. Please kindly share with me how did it go?
Thank you
Please how do I write the application letter
Hi,
I’m not sure what application letter you mean. If you mean consent letter, your spouse can write why you are changing your name and that he is happy for you to take his name and sign 😊
Did you write the application letter
