Quick Summary

If your name appears slightly differently across various official documents like your passport and Aadhaar card, don't worry too much. Such mismatches are common in India. You can resolve this by obtaining a notarised affidavit explaining the discrepancy and getting your name corrected in the relevant records as per official procedures. While not a major legal issue, it's advisable to rectify it when needed.
