Hi,
We want to apply for "Change of Name" in my wife’s passport as we got married a year back. Both mine and wife’s passport was issued from Ahmedabad and we are staying in Bangalore right now. We don’t want to change the address in the passport as we are staying in a rented house but just want to change her name in her passport. As per the Bangalore RPO website, one needs to furnish two copies of address proof along with other documents (marriage certificate etc). She does not have any address proof for local address here as Rent agreement is on my name.
So, here are the doubts I have –
- Can we apply for only "Change of Name" without changing the address? I’m asking this because there is a field for present address in Application Form 1.
- Can I submit the rent agreement as her address proof? Other address proof than we can provide is letter from her company. Is that acceptable?
Anyone who has recently gone through this process? Please provide your valuable inputs. Any pointers to a good agent will also be helpful.
