How can I rectify the discrepancy in my husband's passport name?
My husband’s name is listed as "X" in my passport, while his name appears as "XY" in his passport. How can I rectify this discrepancy?
To correct your husband's name in your passport, get a "Change in Spouse's Name" by filling up Form No. 2 (to get your passport issued afresh) at your Regional Passport Office. Attach a photocopy of his passport, marriage certificate, and an affidavit invariably demanded by the Passport Office stating his true name. Passport Rules, 1980 changes in personal details, which include details relating to the spouse's name as well, can be permitted provided these papers are submitted along with them. Once accepted and approved, a new passport booklet with the updated information will be issued. It ensures that official records have uniform and proper identity details.
You will need to apply for a re-issue of your passport because the name in your passport does not match that in your husband's passport. Collect all requirements, like an application form, current passport, and supporting documents such as a marriage certificate to explain the change in name, and also an affidavit specifying the correct name. The applicant submits his or her application at the nearest passport office or online through Passport Seva portal. The normal processing period is 10 to 30 days depending on circumstances and verification requirements.
Sir, to rectify the discrepancy in the names listed in your passport and your husband’s passport you should prepare an affidavit by declaring the correct name as per your marriage certificate and explaining the inconsistency. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
