Your FAQ

Question: Can I change my surname on my passport before I get married?

Answer: Yes, you will need to get a form from the Post Office (PD2) and take or send it to the Superintendent Registrar or Minister who will be conducting the ceremony, indicating which passport office you will be using. Part of this form needs to be sent with your passport application, and the other part is retained by the Superintendent Registrar until after the marriage has taken place.
