Name Change in Passport — After Marriage or Legal Deed — Greater Noida West, Noida, Greater Noida & Ghaziabad — Agarwal Passport Consultant Greater Noida West

A name change in passport is one of the most commonly requested services after marriage. When you change your surname or full name — whether due to marriage, divorce, or a legal name change deed — your passport must also be updated to reflect the new name. At Agarwal Passport Consultant and Services, we handle the complete name change process across Noida, Greater Noida, Greater Noida West, Noida Extension, and Ghaziabad — from gazette notification and newspaper advertisement to passport re-issue at PSK.

📄 Documents Required for Name Change in Passport

Marriage Certificate — Original and self-attested copy (registered marriage certificate strongly preferred)
Updated Aadhaar Card — Must show new name after marriage
PAN Card — Updated with new name preferred
Existing Passport — Original old passport with old name
2 Recent Passport Size Photographs — White background, 3.5cm x 3.5cm
Gazette Notification — For name changes other than marriage
Notarised Affidavit — May be required for certain name change scenarios as advised by PSK

Combine Name Change with Passport Renewal — Save Time and Cost

If your passport is also due for renewal — apply for name change AND renewal simultaneously in a single reissue application on Passport Seva Portal. This saves you from two separate PSK visits, reduces processing time, and is more cost-effective than making two separate applications. We handle combined applications regularly.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions — Name Change in Passport

How long does name change in passport take after marriage?▼
Name change follows standard reissue timelines — 30 to 45 working days under normal processing and 1 to 3 working days under Tatkal. Police verification is typically required so plan your timeline accordingly.
Do I need to update Aadhaar before changing passport name?▼
Yes — strongly recommended. PSK officers verify name change against Aadhaar. If your Aadhaar still shows your old name during the passport application it can cause complications or rejection at the counter.
Can I combine name change with passport renewal at the same time?▼
Yes — highly recommended. Combining saves time, reduces PSK visits, and is more cost-effective. We handle combined name change plus renewal applications very regularly.
My marriage certificate is not registered — will it be accepted?▼
Registered marriage certificate is strongly preferred. Unregistered certificates may not be accepted at all PSK counters. If you have an unregistered certificate — consult us for alternative documentation options before applying.
Is gazette notification required for name change after marriage?▼
Generally no — marriage certificate is sufficient for surname change after marriage. Gazette notification is required for name changes that are not related to marriage — such as personal preference or legal name change.
