Hi
I dont have surname in my 10th certificate and passport.
I want to include my surname "Singh" in passport.
I got married in 2007 and my husband's surname is not "Singh"
How do I get to add surname "Singh" in passport. Which affidavit should I use. Affidavit for Change of name after marriage or affidavit for Change of Name

To include the surname,do we need to publish the same in newspapers?

You should apply with an affidavit for change of name. A paper notification is required for the same.
