Passports ????????

I would make sure they are in the same name before travelling again.

I leave Australia on my Aussie passport and enter the UK on my british one, and vice verse. That way I don't need a visa to enter either country..

This is what i intend to do and what my DH does, he also has both due to his father being British! he was asked how long he was in UK for when we returned first time, he told them 3 years and they quizzed him, then he showed his British passport and everything was fine,.......however a friend of his traveled to Egypt and when they asked him for his passport he pulled out three, they did not like this, one Egyptian, British and American!!

so i will say it depends what country you are traveling too and their understanding of duel nationalities. i have no concern with using both when traveling from UK to Aus.

Just want to know if i can have them in two different names, i will get a new UK one in my married name but not while i still have 5 years on my passport! and i HAVE to get an Australian passport as my visa will expire when i get citizenship! If i leave Australia on my Aus passport then they will check this against my ticket name, if i leave the UK on my British they will do the same and it will not be the same????

Loula you can do an amendment to your current UK passport to change it to your married name without having to do a full renewal of passport.

The application form, fee and supporting documents for a passport name change : Directgov - Travel and transport

just a thought....
