UI have an appointment at my regional passport office in two days. It is for passport renewal as I wanted to update my name and address on my passport. My earlier passport has only my first name, I want the re-issued one to have first name + last name. To support this, I have gone through the whole procedure, published my name change notice in two regional newspapers, then got it published in the national gazette, then updated my PAN and Aadhar card to match this first name + last name. I am going to be carrying copies of all of this documentation when I visit the RPO, obviously.
The confusion I have arises here: even though my current passport is non-ECR, the document advisor still asks me to carry documents to support non-ECR category (so, 10th marksheet or above). But out of all my documents, it was just my educational documents that I wasn’t able to get my name updated in, because the process is unusually lengthy, cumbersome, and frankly unnecessary for most purposes. So, my educational documents are still just in my first name, with no last name. Is this going to cause an issue with getting non-ECR on my re-issued passport? Or is the gazette notification and other government documents (PAN and Aadhar) going to be enough proof that I am the same person and thus the educational documents also belong to me?

AFor me, it was a big problem; not my name, but there was a mistake in my dad’s name. It took months to get everything corrected, and you can also get a signature of proof that these are the same person from a high-ranking government employee.

AI don’t know the signature process correctly; read Quora for details, but what I know is the spellings should be exactly the same, yours and your father’s.

AOh, that one. Changing a father’s name after the passport arrives is a lengthy process, but mine was a first-time passport. My dad’s name on my Aadhaar and 10th certificate were different, so I wanted to change my father’s name on my Aadhaar card since it’s easier to change an Aadhaar name than a board certificate. I had to go to various places to get it changed—the Aadhaar office, police station—for verification and signatures, and everything. But after I finally changed it and received the new Aadhaar, everything went smoothly.
