I recently got married and now i want to Change Name and Signature for my wife in Passport (She already has 1 old passport).
I have a Marriage Certificate .Please let me know if we need to Prepare any Affidavit for Change in Name and Signature for Making any Changes in Existing Passport?
If yes ,then can you please share a sample Affidavit or a Photocopy.
Thanks a lot for your help.

If the applicant wishes to change his/her name in the Passport after marriage, he/she will have to apply for a ‘Re-issue’ of the Passport and download or avail Form No. II for Miscellaneous Services either online or from the Passport Seva Kendra.
Once this form has been filled, he/she will have to submit the same to the Seva Kendra or online along with the following documents -
Present Passport along with a photocopy of the passport of the husband (if any).
Copy of the Marriage Certificate that has been attested OR equivalent affidavit along with supporting evidence such as Marriage Card or joint photo (Annexure ‘D’).
