Aug 18, 2014 at 9:29 comment added Peteris @FukuzawaYukio I don't know Korean laws, but commonly if the name is legally changed (e.g. marriage), then also the old password becomes invalid at that point, and if she's allowed dual citizenship she'd still need to obtain a new Korean passport (presumably through the embassy).

Aug 17, 2014 at 21:08 comment added user19339 Thanks, I should have made it clear that this lady got naturalised (and her new lastname) by marriage. Under Korean law she is allowed to have dual citizenship. The name is changed legally in New Zealand, but not in Korea. She's still using the old Korean passport that was issued before the change of her name. Her New Zealand passport does mention her birth name as an annotation, though. Is that helpful in anyway?
