be aware that you only have a very short period in which they allow you to change your name on your passport for free, cannot remmeber the frame but i forgot to have mine done, so when i traveled overseas i had to show my BDM certificate to let me on the plane!! youhave to go to the passport office with your official certificate and they print a thing in the back to certify you have change dyou name, if you miss the time frame you have to reapply for a passsport and they wont credit you your old one!!! so that is a really important thign to do!! believe me!!
