Dear Law Experts,

My wife got her maiden name changed to my surname post our marriage. I would like to validate if the list of below documents would hold good from legal perspective to confirm this change.

1. Marriage certificate issued by Sub-Registrar Office, Bangalore. (Wifes name is mentioned as Old Name here as we got this doen immediately after our wedding)

2. Notarised Affidavit, declaring name change for my wife. Old Name to New Name

3. Indian Passport issued with the new Name for my wife.

4. News paper ad on name change ( Local & National)

Please advice, if anything else needs to be obtained from a legal perspective

Thanking your time and inputs in advance.

Declaration by the wife is sufficient to add surname after marriage.The proof could be the marriage invitation or the certificate of marriage.
