It is the change in mother's name in the minor son's passport.

You have to apply for reissue of passport.

In the reissue application you can mention all the changes and attach all the necessary documents to prove the changes to be made in your son's passport to that of his previous passport.

But remember that without your son being legally adopted by your current husband, the name of your second husband cannot be replaced or inserted in the father's name column of his passport.
