How much does it cost to change your name BACK to your maiden name on your passport and provisional licence?

I need to change my name back to my maiden name after my divorce, how much roughly does it cost to do that for my passport and my provisional drivers licence?How much does it cost to change your name BACK to your maiden name on your passport and provisional licence?I have 2 answers - Any children????



1. If not, and it is what you want, who cares how much it is.



2. If you have children, think twice. I have 3 children and chose not to change my name back for them. Especially with school, after school activities, etc. it was easier on them.How much does it cost to change your name BACK to your maiden name on your passport and provisional licence?You just have to pay the fee for a new passport and license.How much does it cost to change your name BACK to your maiden name on your passport and provisional licence?OK, for the passport it will cost 77.50 for the standard service, 112.50 for the one week fast track service, and 129.50 for the premium one day service. You will also need the following...

Your current or last passport.

Two recent photos (this means from a photo booth, not a pic of you on your holidays. Remember to only use the WHITE background)

Your birth certificate

A signed statement saying you've gone back to your maiden name for all purposes

A decree absolute showing both names.



For the driving licence, you're looking at around 30 for the name change and you may have to use their premium checking service (which saves you having to send important documents in - trust me, the DVLA are a shambles).



Hope this helps.
