Hello Sir ,
I hAve applied for fresh Passport but have aplied in my maiden name. I don't hav the marriage certificate so hav submitted "annexure d" but the application went on hold stating tht I have to mention Miss X y z henceforth known as Mrs X y z. But my question is even though I mention the same name but it is written as by virtue of marriage. Can you please guide me wat I m suppose to write so that it won't get rejected .
Thanks & Regards,
Deepika

Fresh passport application must be with new name only. If your first name is changed then you have to follow name change process like advertising in two newspaper etc.

Discuss with the passport officer and complete the formality after rectification of the error.

You cannot change the name after marriage just like that as per your whims especially in the application for passport where you are required to submit documentary evidences.
You may withdraw the application and apply afresh with correct name as per the documentary evidence in your possession.
