Change your name or personal details on your passport
Titles and small changes to forenames
You can:
- change the spelling of your name slightly - for example, Jane to Jayne
- change the order of your forenames
- remove middle names
Send 2 documents that show you’re using your new name. These can include a:
- letter from a local council or government department
- driving licence
- bank statement
- baptism or confirmation certificate
Titles you can use on your passport
You can include:
- professional titles - for example, doctor, judge, minister of religion, professor, QC, or JP if you’re a magistrate
- honours or military decorations
Put the details in the ‘other title’ box of your application and send evidence of your title.
Your title will be on the ‘observations’ page of your passport - it will not be part of your name, except if it’s a title of nobility, for example knight, dame or a lord.
