What do I do if the name I use on a daily basis is different from that on my birth certificate?

Whatever the reason for changing your name from that on your birth certificate - or changing your child's name - we need to see some form of documentary evidence detailing the date and circumstances of that change included with your correctly completed standard application form.

For children whose names have changed as a result of the mother's re-marriage you should contact your local passport office for further help and advice.
