How do i change name on passport after getting married in India?

  • My wife and i got married Jan 19th, 2012 in india and we now need to change her last name on the passport. We are both US citizens. Will i need a marriage certificate to change her name on the passport? if yes, how can i go about getting one for a traditional hindu wedding?

  • Answer:

    Call the Embassy and ask this question...I'm sure they would be very familiar with this type of change.

The process is simple if Indian passport . Go to we site https://portal1.passportindia.gov.in/AppOnlineProject/welcomeLink It is presumed that you have US Passport since you are US citizens. In that case you can remarry ( :)) at US and get it done. why do you need this change so quickly? On Lighter side-- wait for some time and ensure you need this change...:)

I assume that the certificate is issued by Indian authorities, likely at the state or local level, and registered there. You'll have to meet their requirements and then get an official copy for the US paperpushers. Of course, no action need be taken until you return to the US -- who's going to know??
