Name change procedure
Can anybody tell me the procedure of getting a name changed on indian passport and also on Qatar RP. My wife works for a company in qatar for last 5 years and is on company sponsorships. i am working here since for almost 5 years now, we got married on dec 2007. now she wishs to resign and come on my sponsorship, a friend of mine suggested me to get her name changed before she resigns as this will easy out the remaining procedure, Is there any firm who deal with these kind of procedure or please any one help me with this issue
she dosent have to change her name for this.Go to the Indian Embassy...apply for adding your spouse name in your passport.thts it.you can submit the application in the morning and can collect it in the eve 3:00-3:30
She doesnt need to change her name just to be on your sponsorship. She can stick to her maiden name. None the less your marriage certificate should be your back up. Please also make sure it is attested,translated legally and translation attested as well. They will inform you the needful as you go along.
Btw I have been married 5 years and i dont even need his name to be in my passport cause it hasnt expired. Unless she is keen on changing names then everything has its own process where i blieve it needs to be advertised in the paper as well. I just find it too much hassel to change it.
there is no need of searching a firm for this.
Do you have marriage certificate showing she is your wife ?
Apply with both passports + marriage certificate to the Indian Embassy so that they will add spouse name in both passports.
I mean your spouse name in Your pssport and your name in her passport. Later the application will be easier.
