What is the procedure to a family name to passport ?
By Highlondon •
Im from India and Im considering to add a family name to our name in the passport. Can anyone tell us exactly what to do? we have only document from India that proof existence of our family name. Did anyone did it before. Guide me exactly what to do??
1)Take the documents which u got from India alomg with the pasport to Indian Cultural Centre.
2)They will issue an NOC which need to submitted at immigration dept (Gharaffa)
3)They wil ask u to come back after 2 weeks after which u will issued an letter which need to be given to Gulf Times for publishing ad in newspaper.
4)At the sametime u need to put ad in Indian Newspaper(not Qatar edition)
5) after 2 weeks take both the ads and submit it to immigration
6)They will ask u to get 1 document typed which can be done near to immigration itslef. Should be in english
7)Once you get it typed get it stamped from Gate no 1 1st floor.
8)Take it to ICC along with the ads
9)They will give u the forms to apply for new passport wherein it will reflect ur family name.
So I do need to get that proof document to be attested from India?.. how long do you that think that can take?
u go directly indian embassy of qatar they will open 8 to 4.30, but they will start to give token before 7 clock itself,this is easy job only they will ask your passport original and 2 set of photo copy and your birth certificate thats it and this fees will be on around 41 QR.
