Answer 1

Your old surname would no longer be your name. So yes you would need to change your passport. :-)

Answer 2

yes you will have to apply for a new passport

Answer 3

yes - you have to be known as that new name everywhere or why bother changing it in the first place.

Answer 4

Yes you will, because your name will no longer be legally your old one.  It will be illegal to attempt to travel in your old name.

Answer 5

Yes, you need a new passport. Your name on your passport must match your legal name. You'll have to apply for a new ten year passport at a (current) cost of £72. They'll cancel your old one and credit you up to 9 months extra on the new one depending on how much time you have left on it.

I know this because i've just got married and i'm really cheesed off that i have to pay to amend my passport to my new name when i've still got 7 years on my old one.

Answer 6

I think when you change your name by deedpoll you have to relinquish your old passport. Not hundred percent sure but i think this is the case.

Answer 7

Yes you will need to get a new passport

Answer 8

You'll need to get your passport reissued or you'll have problems at customs with two different names!
