I want to apply for my first adult 10-year passport

I am about to get married and will take my husband's name

If you are applying for a passport to use after you are married, perhaps for your honeymoon, it is important that it shows your married name.

We can prepare a first passport in your married name any time up to three months before the wedding.

First you need to get leaflet "Information for Newly Weds and Civil Partners" and "Form for Newly Weds and Civil Partners". You can do this:

Form for Newly Weds and Civil Partners needs to be completed partly by you and partly by the person who is to conduct your marriage ceremony (leaflet "Information for Newly Weds and Civil Partners" explains what to do in more detail).

You should then apply for your passport in the normal way but will need to supply one extra document: a completed Form for Newly Weds and Civil Partners.
