I have recently applied for a fresh passport. However, during document verification i was asked to submit a fresh birth certificate because the original one that i had submited has my fathers surname differently printed than my school records. The difference is because of different naming systems in gujarat where i was born and kerala where my father was born. It is not possible for me to apply for a fresh birth certificate because i no longer stay in gujarat. Can i submit an affidavit instead along with the original birth certificate?
