visa 189 spouse name to use when passport still reflects maiden surname


Recommended Posts

I really need clarity. I am applying now for the 189 visa. For my wife I need to add her as a family member on my visa. Her name has changed we have the name change proof

The visa application asks for her name surname and passport number. Her passport however reflects her maiden name not her new name but the passport is still valid. Do I use her name as it is in the  passport reflecting her maiden name for the application or must I use her new surname?

I was in the same situation. I applied under my maiden name as was in my passport, even though my surname was changed (my husband was main applicant).. I received the visa under my maiden name, no questions were asked.

Hello Ruiz,

You should use her details as they appear in her passport.
