Names of non-migrating members of the family unit

[Hardik]

Hi everyone

I have a question for my friend because she is not good at English.

She has some confusion when filling family name and given names for non-migrating members of the family unit in visa application (eg. in Part D of form 47SP, Part G of form 47of) because the forms do not ask about other names for these family members. Family members such as siblings who got married and have new family name of spouse or have officially changed their name and have certificate of name change.

She intends to follow one of 2 below options and she hopes to hear advice and experience from Bros (eg. what are advantages and disadvantages of these 2 options)

1. Filling their new and current names (if known)

2. Filling all with birth names (same family names) to confirm family association.

Thanks everyone so much for your time.

When filling out the visa application for non-migrating family members who've changed their names (like due to marriage or officially), it's generally better to use their current legal names. This matches their current IDs and avoids any confusion down the line. Just make sure to have the right documents handy to support any name changes, like marriage certificates or legal name change papers.
