There is so much to think about when you get married or enter a civil partnership that amending your passport can easily get forgotten. Some countries may refuse you entry with an unamended passport, even if you carry your marriage or civil partnership certificate. You can check this with your travel agent or at the country’s consulate, but it is usually best to change your passport in advance.
We can arrange this for you any time up to three months before the ceremony, although you’ll be unable to use your passport until the actual day of your marriage or civil partnership.
If you apply to amend your passport before you get married you will need leaflet PD1, which explains what you need to do, and form PD2. You can get these:
You will need to ask the person who is to conduct the marriage ceremony to help you complete form PD2.
