This query is : Resolved
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am an Indian citizen residing in state of Rajasthan (working in a private organization) gets my surname (Last Name)added through legal/gazette notification, and then want to apply for fresh passport.
Passport customer service center says that an affidavit as per their prescribed annexure (E) and publication in two news papers required to name change/to add surname which is missing on ID, Address proof and X class (DOB) certificate, Even if you submit gazette notification for adding surname(last name)/name change.
If so required as per your advice, then gazette notification (name change) seems to be restricted for this purpose.
Are there other areas where gazette notification for name change can’t be used?
Or should I first get add surname in ID, Address proof and X class certificate, and then apply?
If yes, How can now, I get add my surname in X class certificate, passed in 1990 (Board of Rajasthan).
Kindly, let me know your valuable advice. I shall be highly grateful to you and L.C.I.
Thanking you.
