Litigation

Litigation

I've only changed my name for marriage reasons, and it hasn't been too much of a pain. My employer was good about changing it, and when I went back to school I was able to change it on all of my information. Even my transcripts from the college I graduated from had my new name on it after I changed it with the Alumni office. . Once you change your social everything can basically be changed over to the new name, because that's you now...and no one asked me why I changed my name, I expected some people to be like "oh you got married?!" but no one seemed to care.. Just don't make a big deal about it, be clear and straightforward. If people see you act uncomfortable when telling them you changed it, they'll think something interesting happened. If you're just like "Yes, I changed my name." Period. They'll just move on... At least that's what I think.... . EDIT: my grandmother has changed her name 3 times (once she even changed her full name the first time she got married....first, middle and last) and as far as I know no one has had issues with it....

Your have but one course, Deed of Change of Name (but more commonly known as a Deed Poll).Regarding your passport, this is a question for the passports consular section at the British embassy.
