Hello,
Before I attempt to reach someone at the British Consulate after hours of online research with no answers I thought I would try asking this here.
I'm from the UK. I got married in London (before 2001) to a US citizen. Came to the US to live, got Green Card right away. Changed my last name to his, and that's what my UK passport reflects. Got divorced a few years after coming here, but name, passport, GC remained the same.
Until...I became a US citizen a few years after divorce and reverted back to my maiden name. Became a dual citizen, but travelled on US passport. Stupidly didn't change name on UK passport since money was tight for me at the time and I had just met my now husband and knew another name change would be in the works (told you I'm stupid!)
So, even though I keep reminding myself I need to take care of the name change on my UK passport I haven't and it's expired. I got married to lovely DH two years ago and after a lot of arm twisting took his last name.I've got the UK passport renewal application forms filled out, copy of my US Divorce Decree, new marriage certificate, passport photos etc...but do I need to somehow register my divorce and new marriage in the UK prior to sending my application form?
So sorry about the long post. I prefer to ask this on MN since I have found MNetters to be really helpful. Thanks in advance if anyone knows the answer to this!
