Hi !

As I'm still waiting anxiously for our wedding, I started filling out the forms and I'm a little confused about the family name : I want to use my husband's name, so do I write this name in the Family Name box, and my maiden name in the Other Names Used box ? Or is it the contrary ?

When we send the file, my IDs won't yet be amended with the new name, and the documents we'll be sending out as proof of bona fide marriage will still be in my maiden name, is that ok ?

If you wish to take his name, put HIS name in "family name" and put your first and maiden name under 'other names used"

Good luck

Thank you so much :D

This whole process is very stressful... We have lived together for 2 years now and thinking we'll be apart for several months is pretty harsh.
