Hi
I have a question, we have allready submitted our EOI and also received our police clearances certificates, but we are getting married in a few weeks.

Will I have to get new police clearances reflecting my married surname as well?

We have receive an invitation yet to lodge.

Thanks
Trish

You police clearances are a time of decision requirement. If you change your name between the time you lodge your visa application and the time of the decision you will have to get a new certificate. If your passport name doesn't change then you may not have to. You police clearance will have to be for all names you declare on your application.

Thank you for your prompt response.

So if I decide to immigrate on my maiden name and my passport is still in my maiden name, the police clearances will also be fine because they are reflecting only my maiden name?
