I have a problem. I am applying for citizenship but i am little bit confused if i still need to change my maiden to my husband's last name legally or not anymore? And that is to pay something more than a hundred? I have already changed my bank accounts, health card, etc except my PR card. I want to use my Husband's last name but does it require still to pay and get your name changed legally?
