Hi,

I came across the same issue, there was a spell mistake in my wife passport, we approached the passport authority and requested for the correction, they issued new passport with corrected name, offcourse we paid passport fee again.

If you wrote surname correctly in your passport application then you need pay fee for the correction.

If you wrote wrong spelling in your application then you have to pay for the correction.

Now a days passport services are improved, I think you can get it done within a week, as there is no police verification required for just correction.
