A person who is going to be married or forming a civil partnership

in the United Kingdom, and who will be going abroad immediately

after the ceremony, can apply to the Identity and Passport

Service (IPS) for a new ten-year passport to be issued in their

new name up to three months in advance of their wedding or civil

ceremony date. The passport would be post-dated to the date of

the ceremony, and will not be valid for use until the applicant's

ceremony has taken place.

We would also be grateful if you could retain this portion of the

form in order to notify the IPS if the ceremony is either cancelled

or postponed (regional passport office addresses are overleaf).

Please note if either occurs, could you please also inform us of

the applicant's current address.
