Hi,
Does addition of surname requires name change procedure?
Example: Say, if my name is mentioned as Rahul Kumar and surname is missed in SSC and carried to all educational certificates... While applying for passport I wanted to include my surname for now in all the records. I consulted an advocate for this query, he suggested to attach an affidevit while applying for passport and it would be done (as this is only the inclusion of Surname) and not really a name change.
Can you please confirm on the above statement, if the above is accurate?
Thanks,
Rohit
