Dear fellow members of Lawyers Club India,
Kindly help me out in clarifying my doubts regarding my documents for the application of PASSPORT.
I am a 24 year old guy from Mysore City of Karnataka State pursuing my MBA which is about to get completed by December this year. I am looking forward to apply for my passport which is very much necessary for me to get closer in achieving my aim of pursuing my further education in Germany.
Here is a quick glance of some important points about myself;
BIRTH NAME: Phalgun Kumar K S
DATE OF BIRTH: 21st February 1990
CHANGED NAME: Phalgunn Maharishi
NAME CHANGE AFFIDAVIT: Yes
NAME IN DOCUMENTS (voter's card, aadhaar card, driving license, degree certificates, etc): Phalgunn Maharishi
NAME IN SSLC MARKS SHEET: Phalgun Kumar K S
Okay then, as per the above information you can understand that I have changed my name. Let me explain it below.
Until I completed my SSLC, I was known as "Phalgun Kumar K S" and thus I have my name in SSLC certificate as Phalgun Kumar K S. But, later on I changed my name to "Phalgunn Maharishi" and got a name change affidavit sworn and advertised the same in a local English newspaper. Later on I joined my diploma, graduation and MBA in my new name "PHALGUNN MAHARISHI" and also all my documents like Voters' ID, Aadhaar Card, Driving License, Pan Card everything are in my new name only.
Recently I visited the city corporation to get my name inscribed on my birth certificate as it was left blank when I was born. The officials over there inscribed my changed name PHALGUNN MAHARISHI on the birth certificate. So, now, as per my records, all my documents are in the name PHALGUNN MAHARISHI except my SSLC certificate which is in my old name PHALGUN KUMAR K S. Would that be fine?
Also, to my shocking sense, in my birth certificate, the name of my mother is printed as MANDARA S. CHAYADEVI where as her name is just MANDARA S. Would that be making any problem while I apply for my PASSPORT?
Please help me with this regard.
