There is a process to change your name in Nigeria. You will need to swear an affidavit. In that affidavit, you will state the reasons for the name change. You will also do a newspaper publication. Lastly, you will approach NIMC to update your record with them. After all these have been done, you can go ahead to get your passports in the name of your new husband
