Just a word to the wise. I got married in October 2003 and thought that when I get 5 minutes I will change everything into my married name. Went to Bali last year but booked the ticket into my maiden name so this was not a problem. We are off to Bali in 27 sleeps and when I booked the ticket, put it into my married name and thought I would get my passport changed. What a NIGHTMARE!! From July 2005, the passport office changed their rules. You can only change the name on your passport free of charge if it is within 12 months of the marriage otherwise you have to complete the whole application again and pay for a brand new passport $153. I also needed photos $10 and a certified copy of my marriage certificate $40. Hence I spent $203 without even blinking. I still had 6 years remaining on my passport. Was I happy? DON'T THINK SO!!!
