Frequently asked questions
When do I need a name change statement?
If your name on your passport differs from your name at any point in your visa history, UKVI requires an explanation. Common reasons include marriage, divorce, or deed poll changes.
Do I need to attach proof?
Yes. Always attach official documentation: marriage certificate for marriage name changes, decree absolute for divorce changes, deed poll for legal changes. UKVI will verify these documents.
What if my name changed multiple times?
You can record up to 5 separate name changes. Enter them in chronological order with dates for each change. The generator will create a clear timeline for UKVI.
Can I include the reason for the change?
Yes. The “Reason” field is optional but helpful. Common reasons: “marriage”, “deed poll”, “divorce”. Keep it brief and factual.
Is this a legal document?
No. This generator creates a supporting statement only. It is not a legal document. Always pair it with official proof documents. For complex name change histories, consult an immigration adviser.
Where do I submit the statement?
Include the statement in your visa application's supporting documents section. Upload it as a PDF along with your evidence (marriage certificate, deed poll, etc.).
