Language / "-ska" Polish last name different from "-ski"? [15]
Hi, I am in exactly the same situation as you - and getting married in Poland in May. I *think* I will take -ska but I haven't 100% decided. However, I can tell you that English law is not as strict as Polish law regarding names. I think the easiest way for you to change your names hassle-free with the authorities is to simply change your name by deed poll. It costs about £30 and then you can use this document to send to the Passport office, DVLA, Bank, etc... this way you won't have to get your marriage certificate translated and send multiple copies to all the companies, then spend time explaining why your name is slightly different to your husbands!
Where are you getting married? Are you getting married in a church? I would love to hear how easy/difficult it's been for you to sort everything out!
