Registration of a marriage and a trip on a honeymoon trip - these two wonderful events can be overshadowed if you are not familiar with the rules for changing your passport when you change your surname .
To change or not to change the old passport?
Legislation reads: " If you changed your surname, you must change your civil passport no later than 30 days later ."
And what if you only recently received your passport? So sorry for the time and money spent on document processing. Is there really no way out and still have to get it again?
The validity of the passport after marriage is at least 30 days, that is, while your girl's passport is valid. If the passport for a maiden name, in a visa-free country can go, without violating the law. Because the date of changing the name for the passport will be appointed after the exchange of civil passports, that is, at least a month after the wedding. As practice shows, if you are going to visit only those countries where visa registration is not necessary, then your old foreign passport can be used until its expiration date has expired.
If you want to get a visa in the old passport, you will be refused it.
And if the honeymoon is scheduled immediately after the celebration, and the time for obtaining a new civil and then the passport is simply not there?
It is possible to buy tickets, and to issue a visa before the wedding, on the old name. And then problems with the trip will not happen.
So, changing the passport after marriage:
- Do not need it if your surname has not changed;
- It is necessary immediately after the replacement of your internal passport if a change of name has occurred.
