Can I use my current UK passport even though ive got married and changed surname?

Question

Ive 7 years left on my current uk passport.Ive heard that if I carry my marriage certificate with me I can still use the passport, in certain countries.It seems a bit of a rip off to pay for a brand spanking new one! The IPS site is a bit vague.Can any one help? Cheers

Answer 1

yes you can still use it, but to avoid confusion whilst abroad I would suggest changing it.

I think there is a special rate for just changing your name...
