Alias Name In Passport
UTPAL SAHA
(Querist) 02 November 2010
This query is : Resolved
My first passport was issued in 1990.At that time Passport application form had a specific space for writing alias name, which my father filled up as "SANTU"- my nick name as my parents and close relatives call me.
My given name is UTPAL and surname SAHA. All my official documents are in teh name of " UTPAL SAHA".
When the passport was re-issued in 2000 after 10 yrs of validity, Passport application form probably had no space for filling-up Alias. When the passport was delivered, I didn't notice that they have hand-written my given name as " UTPAL @ SANTU". Since this passport was valid upto 2010 and I had no opportunity to visit abroad in this period, I never gave it a close look.
Now it has expired and I hv to apply for re-issue and in on-line application I filled-up Given name as UTPAL and RPO Kolkata rejected my form.
I don't wish to carry forward the alias as there are no official documents avaialable with me which bears this alias name. However I have all documents registered with my name as UTPA SAHA.
Pls advise what best can be done in this situation.

you move the application to the authority with the affidavit mentioning this fact and pray to issue the passport in your given name.

If you do not wish to keep the 'alias' in your new passport then you have to apply afresh after filling all the formalities. There should not be any issue in it. Visit the man office at Dalhousie.
