❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a gazette for name change after marriage?▼
For name change after marriage, gazette notification is one accepted route. However, many PSKs also accept a marriage certificate as sufficient proof. The specific documents depend on your state and PSK. We advise the most practical and fastest route based on your case.
How long does gazette notification take?▼
Gazette notification publication typically takes 3–7 working days from submission. We have streamlined this process and can often get it done faster. Once the gazette is published, we can file your passport application immediately.
Can I change my name in passport without gazette?▼
In some cases, a marriage certificate alone is sufficient for name change after marriage. For other types of name changes (non-marriage), gazette notification is generally required. We advise the most suitable documentation route for your specific case.
Do I need to update Aadhaar before changing name in passport?▼
Yes, ideally your Aadhaar should reflect your new name before applying for passport name change. However, if Aadhaar update is delayed, we can guide you on alternative documentation. Both Aadhaar and passport should ultimately reflect the same name.
