Respected Experts,
Greetings,

I am Shrikant Jain from Khandwa ,Madhya Pradesh . I need your expert advice on a person having two surname .Our family surname is “ Saraf” and cast surname is “Jain” and my father’s education certification are with SARAF ( Family Surname) i.e. Dr. Shreyans Saraf and later he started using cast surname and all the other national identities, certificates, Ration card are as “ JAIN” i.e. Dr. Shreyans Jain.
In fact I have mentioned my father’s name Dr. Shreyans Jain in my all documents , Identities ,educational certificates.
Now my father have to apply for Indian Passport , so suggest me by which name he use to apply and does he need any affidavit to present to passport office for his two surnames and if I call his on dependent visa to any other country , then at that time will it be problem for us.

Kindly advice .

Sincerely,
Shrikant Jain

Dear Experts , Kindly advice.

1. ONLY the family surname, as recorded in the birth certificate, has legal relevance.

2. Using multiple surnames, is misrepresentation, and is a criminal offence, subject to certain lawful parameters.

3. Apply for name change to the local competent authority, for consequent publishing in the Govt. Gazette, subsequent to which the name change can be made effective for you and future generations.

Keep Smiling .... Hemant Agarwal
