Change your name or personal details on your passport

1. Changes you don't have to report

You don’t have to tell HM Passport Office or get a new passport if you:

• change your address or contact details
• get a new job
• change your appearance slightly - for example, dye your hair or grow a beard
• change your marital status (divorce, marry or form a civil partnership) but keep your name
• change your title, for example, doctor or professor
• become a national of another country as well as the UK
• emigrate
