Dear Member, I changed my name for passport by executing deed poll affidavit and publishing in two reputed newspapers in 2007 april (Mumbai). But did not put the same in gazette as i was not aware of the same. I would like to put the same now. What are the problems i may face. Please advice me

Dear Sir,

Kindly Suggest me how to resolve this issue in my Passport.

Name Change for My Wife in passport- please find  the below Issue I am facing.

My Name is Manohar and My Wifes Original Name is Swapna.

During marriage my parents have changed the name of my wife from Swapna to Laya Priya.

I have applied for Passport after my marriage during which i have mentioned my wifes name as Laya Priya.

And I got the Passport with my wife name added as laya priya.

Now I trying to go abroad and facing some issue with the name of my wife.

My wife doesnt have any legal documents with the name Laya Priya, all her certificates and Id's everything is in name Swapna. So if she applies for passport she can get only in the name of Swapna.

because of which i want to change my wifes name From Laya priya to Swapna in my passport.

Now I came to know I have done a biggest mistake.

Kindly suggest me the exact process for getting this change done in my passport.

I would be very much Thankful to you

Hello,

Myself Prasanna M Kashikar from Thane, I got married in January and received the Marriage Certificate couple of weeks back. 

My wife now wants to change her name on passport. however, her passport was issued from Mumbai Passport Office, & now since after marriage she has moved to Thane, Can she apply for a name change in Thane Passport Office or she has to apply in Mumbai Passport office as her passport was issued there.

Kind Regards,

Prasanna M Kashikar
