Wife's caste in ID and documents

Dear All,

My wife's name before marriage was Renu Sharma. We got married in 2008 and after marriage we apply and obtain her Driving license, Aadhar card with our caste as Renu Malhotra. 

Then In 2010 she applied for government job. In the application form she had to mention exact name as appear on the certificates and degrees. so she applied for job as Renu Sharma. She got selected for government teacher job and in all his service records i.e school, education department her name is Renu Sharma. her name can't be change in her job and education department in future. 

Now we are very confused with her name as her degrees and job is with the name of Renu Sharma and her DL and Aadhar Card is with name Renu Malhotra. Now we have to apply her passport. 

Can anyone please suggest how to proceed for her name in documents so that we dont face any problem with her name in future.

Also, we have to apply her passport with which name Renu Sharma or Renu Malhotra.

Please suggest

Regards,

Anuj Malhotra

(Procedure is listed below – Kindly continue reading)

Not able to agree.  It is not binding for lady to change surname on marriage. SHe can retain both surname also and she can omit to change at all.
