Dear Client,
An Aadhaar updated with a name correction may not be considered a proof of name on its own. You have to provide valid documents supporting such correction in the name. As asked by the passport officer, prior to publication of name correction in the newspaper, you have to pursue the following steps 1) An affidavit is a legal document that is used to state facts under oath. The affidavit should include the applicant's current name and the desired name, the reason for the correction of name, and any other relevant details declaring that the "A d/ or w/o B " and the "C d/o or w/o B" are the same and one identical person. The affidavit should be made on a stamp paper of the appropriate value as per the state where the applicant resides and should be sworn preferably before the 1st class Judicial Magistrate or Executive Magistrate. 2) The next step in the name change process is to publish a notification in the Gazette of India. The Gazette of India is a publication of the Government of India that contains official government notifications, including name change notifications. The notification should be in the prescribed format and published in at least two local newspapers. 3) The final step is to submit an application to the passport issuing/renewal authorities along with the affidavit, gazette notification, news papers publications, for information and necessary corrections in your daughter's passport. The applicant may also need to provide additional documents for updating the records. It is essential to follow the correct procedure to ensure that the mother's name correction is recognized by the passport authorities.
