    Re: Adding spouse name in the passport

    Hi Nilofar,

    You can add your spouse name in your passport, I did that after my wedding. you need to produce your marriage certificate, your spouse passport, address proof, age proof and photographs.

    If you have a valid visa on your current passport even that has to be transferred to the new passport.

    Hope this helps,

    Pandu

    Re: Adding spouse name in the passport

    [JUSTIFY]Hi Nilofar,

    Yes you can add your husband's name by giving your marriage certificate along with your passport to the passport office.

    Earlier it took only a week to include spouse name and also spouse name will be included in our current passport. But nowadays We get a new passport after we include our spouse name.Also we get the passport delivered as per rules of getting a fresh passport.Only thing We need not produce all documents as we do for getting fresh passport.

    You can also take a xerox copy of your husband's passport,proof of residence to the office if they ask for verifying purpose.

    Don't worry for visa to be endorsed in your new passport, at the time of your trip you can show your old passport and get the visa endorsed in your new passport.

    I got my spouse name included in my passport while we applied passport for our son. First i got my passport and then applied for my son.

    You can have the same surname after marriage, it is enough if you include your spouse name alone. But if you wish to change your surname you can apply for it(change of name and including spouse name) together.

    This is as of 2008.
    But make sure you visit Passport office once to get updated information though u get all details required from website/friends.

    Hope this helps you.[/JUSTIFY]
    :)

    Re: adding spouse name in passport

    I don't want to change my name after marriage but I want to add my husband's name under 'Spouse name' on my passport.
    I have taken Form No.2 and Personal Information form for Rs.5/-.
    I got married recently. My husband has gone to US and soon I'll be going there on a dependent visa. I have time constraint. Will you please tell me :
    1. Do I need to fill Form 2 and Personal Information form only ?
    2. What all proofs I need to submit ?
    3. How much time will this take after I submit the necessary documents ?
    4. Is there any tatkal service available for this ?
    5. The spouse name will be added on the last page (laminated page) under 'Spouse name' OR on any other page ?
    6. Also, on my passport on the inner 2-3 pages , there is a rust stain. Will my passport be considered as damaged ?

    Need help to clear these doubts .
