The birth certificate of the daughter shall be issued with the name of her biological father.

Municipal authorities would accept name of the child is as per required documents submitted.

Name of biological father and mother would remain there.

Father's surname shall be suffixed.

Since the Naming is not yet done you could go ahead with affixing the mother's name as Surname.Once the father's name in certificates as surname it needs lot of procedures to delete it.Delhi High Court also had said mother's name would suffice in Pass Ports.Orders of Honorable Justice Manmohan-Delhi High Court.
