Name change before getting married?

[Light27 5]

After the divorced I haven't changed my name back to my maiden name.Until now I am still using my ex-husband's last name. I was thinking, it will be changed again when my fiance and I get married hence the delay. My question is Can I have it done all at once when we get married and I will be able to use  maiden name as my middle name instead of his(ex-husband's) last name? Hoping somebody can share information on this.Thank you.

Sorry are you the beneficiary or the sponsor? I know you probably feel this makes no difference but it possibly does when coming to when and how you are allowed to change your name.

Is your maiden name currently your middle name? If so, then yeah you can keep your current middle name and then change your last name. If not, things will likely be trickier.

ZoeUK, I am the petitioner who hasn't change my name to maiden name after the divorce.

I kept my married name after my divorce. I am well-known in my region and have used this name for 15 years. It just wasn't practical to change my business card, work email address, drivers license, etc. knowing full well I was going to change it again with my future spouse. One change is enough so I'll do it when we marry!

 

It shouldn't be a problem at all to use your maiden as your middle, unless you were filling out some kind of legal form and needed your full birth name.
