As already mentioned, most changes are pretty straight forward but some will require proof of the change, either via copy of the marriage certificate or deed poll certificate. The passport is a little more complex however and is the one aspect you should consider in advance of the Big Day - for those of you interested in what this entails, check out out Passport, Visa & Health Advice article located in the Honeymoon section.

And that’s pretty much that. Hope it helps!
