If you have two (alternate) names on your passport, please step over here.

Was it difficult to get?

What evidence or commentary did you provide?

This is making it sound a bit rarefied;

British citizens who hold warranted titles or are known more commonly by their stage or professional name may use both names. An observation may be included in their passport. An example of this is when members of the House of Lords use both their titled names and their given names.

I have an observation like this on my passport, I didn’t knowingly apply for it, it seemed to just appear when I renewed it. Just says “Is also known as.. “

I’m not famous or particularly special

How weird. When you changed your name? Sounds like they aren’t all that precious about it, then, if they’re handing them out unsolicited.

Do you need two names because of your work, Ricki?

I’m not trying to have “Ricky Tarr” put in there, if that’s what you mean.

Can’t even spell it.

You're starting to remind me of his passport tricks in the book now

Don’t make me reread them yet again @Frownette

Anyone else?

Bumping for you, as there must be someone on here that uses two names!

Thanks. It was on here that I first read about it, so hoping to dredge a couple of those people up, yes.

Nobody at all?

They’ve all taken their passports and buggered off to Portugal.

I have a note added that I am still known by my maiden name for professional purposes so I can use it for ID for DBS checks etc

Fabulous! You’re who I need to ask then. Was it easy to get? Did you just attach a letter and a marriage certificate?

Any more for any more?

When I applied for my passport in my married name, I sent my marriage certificate with the application but in the notes I asked for the sentence to be added, and they added it exactly as I had requested

I'm a doctor. My passport has a note in saying "The holder is known as Dr Firstname Maidenname for professional purposes". Think I sent off my GMC certificate.
