Re: Name changing after marriage

Oh the thread has gone somewhere else. Lets put it this way …

I WANT to change my name. I have changed it unofficially on FB & here & there.I plan on changing it later as well. But I have 4 months for the wedding out of which 3 will go for the processing. So I guess I should leave it as is for now & later get my NIC & Passport name changed, what say?

Also - @Enigmatic is changing marital status on NIC compulsory?

It isn’t compulsory Daffy…as in I have heard people have got their visas on their old NICs too but to be on the safe side and make sure the marriage is registered with NADRA it does help to change marital status on NIC. If you go for the urgent application, you’d get the NIC within 7-10 days but just make sure they spell everythiing the right way esp while typing the names in Urdu and English. I had to go through the entire NIC application again because they misspelt hubby’s name

Apply for passport on urgent basis too once you get the CNIC. Shouldn’t take long IA about 10-14 days max I think.
