I am a Nepalese citizen living in India. My passport is in the name “Pooja Chandok” and all my educational documents are in the name “Pooja Hegde”. Both names belong to the same person; only the first name is different. All other details are completely the same. I need to use my educational documents for future job and visa applications using my Nepalese passport, preferably for UAE and EU countries. What is the correct legal way to prove that both names belong to the same person? Can a Central Gazette notification issued in India be used in such a case? Will any other documents be required?
You should obtain an official name change or name variation Gazette notification stating that both “Pooja Chandok” and “Pooja Hegde” are the same person. Along with it, prepare a notarized affidavit and supporting documents like DOB proof and education records. For visa or job use, also get documents attested/apostilled. Gazette plus affidavit together is the strongest proof for name mismatch cases. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
