If you have recently changed your name, or if you plan to do so in the near future, you will have to change the name on your passport if you want to travel abroad.
This means your current passport will be cancelled and a new standard 10-year passport issued. We will credit your new passport with extra time (up to nine months) towards the unexpired time left on your old passport.
If you have a child included on your current passport he or she cannot be included on your new passport because the rules have changed. You will need to apply for a child passport on his or her behalf.
