Does my old name appear on Australian Passport?

Question

Going for a new passport and my name has changed. Will my old name appear on the new passport along with my new name?

Answer 1

The old name will no longer appear on the new passport with a new name so that there will be no confusion.

Answer 2

no, only a last name and first name will appear, nothing more,

in one of my other passport, my maiden name does appear, as well as my married name,

this is what appears on an Australian passport:

COMMON USAGE

Common law provides that a person's name is established through assumption and use of that name.

For general purposes, if evidence of a change of name is not required, a person may change their name merely by assuming a new name. This however may not satisfy persons or organisations you propose to deal with eg banks, government agencies. Documentary evidence may be required. Placing a notice in a newspaper is optional.

The assumption of a spouse's name upon marriage establishes a change of name. A marriage certificate is usually accepted as evidence of such a change by most authorities.
