  • RE: Change of name - two names after marriage

    Dear Admin, Thanks for your help. If the current name on my HMRC account (Firstname MaidenName) is the one I want to use, do I need to update you about the other name or is it fine as it is?
  • Change of name - two names after marriage

    Hello, I got married in 2021. In 2023, I got a new passport where on the main photo page it states my name as [First name] [Husband's Surname]-[Maiden Name] (double barreled). However, because I still use my maiden name for professional purposes, my original name is listed as a valid name under official observations (the official observations page on my passport says 'this holder is also known as [First Name] [Maiden Name]). My other identity documents e.g. driving license still use my original name. I have realised some of my payslips were issued in just my maiden name, and some with the double barrelled name. I am unsure if I need to update HMRC of both names, and if there is a way to do this? I have tried to ensure my employers only use my original name as per my preference, but have realised recently they have not always done this. Thanks for your help
