I got my nephews adhar card mentioning care of gunjita tuteja My passport agent said he will get the maiden name and surname of my sister on my nephews Passport too..by getting ad on newspaper and based on othet documents as my sisters Passport is also in her maiden surname before marriage..( he also mentioned he will reissue my sisters passport updated as it was before Marriage now he will show as SEPERATED AS cases are pending in court) THAT WAS WHERE i was like this got bad..

To travel abroad or to study? ( His father name is mentioned in birth certificate full name)
Birth certificate should reflect mother name as per her Aadhar card
2) you can explain birth certificate of son reflects mother married name and her maiden name
3) school should accept name
4) should not face problems in applying for child passport and visa
It can be accepted only if you have changed through gazette notification
It is the right time now to correct the mistake in the name hence decide what name should your sister be known as henceforth.
You can get her name changed accordingly and get the aadhar card also change as per her correct name.
Then you can apply for reissue of passport with proper identity cards to prove her correct name.
Don't get confused by listening to too many advises because most of the advises are rendered by half knowledge people which will land your sister in permanent trouble in future.
Dear Client,
I understand your concerns regarding the use of an alias name in official documents and its implications. Here’s some general information that may help address your queries:
School Admission:
Travel Abroad:
Visa Applications with Single Name:
Regarding the official nature of an alias, it is generally recognised in legal documents if it has been used consistently and is backed by legal procedures such as a gazette notification or court order. It’s important to ensure that all legal documents reflect the name change or alias usage to avoid complications.
For passports, the official name without the alias is typically printed. However, if there has been a legal name change, supporting documents can be provided to update the passport accordingly.
Given the complexity of legal and bureaucratic processes, it’s always best to consult with a legal professional who can provide specific guidance based on the laws and regulations applicable to your situation. They can assist you in ensuring that all documents are correctly aligned and legally recognised, which is essential for school admissions, travel, and other official purposes.
As i am updating it again pls make it clear i am not getting from last 2 responses As i have said only sister adhar card was changed after marriage that was GUNJITA SUKHIJA So as i told her Passport had maiden surname as she never updated aftet marriage so from that Passport i got the maiden surname back to gunjita tuteja in adhar card and the agent who asked me to correct details in birth certificate he asked me old documents which i gave him her passport , her pan card , her latest and old adhar card , her marksheet and 2 witness adhar and in all those her name was GUNJITA TUTEJA ... HE NEVER ASKED ME FOR GAZETTE NOTIFICATION AS ALL HER DOCUMENTS ARE FROM MAIDEN SURNAME .... Now what to do some of you said to have gazette notification but it is already updated in birth certificate as alias name .... I am really worried pls guide me now as i am tensed about what will happen now when i will apply for Passport or some visa in future or in school admission or in any other field .....
Your sister can execute affidavit that both are one and same person
2) The Gazette Notification acts as a Certificate for Name Change after marriage & the newspaper cut-outs are the proof of announcement.
3) since birth certificate of child reflects mother name
GUNJITA SUKHIJA ALIAS GUNJITA TUTEJA .. it is better to go in for gazette notification
Sir but i want the name with gunjita tuteja in nephew's all documents as all her documents are in tuteja only , but only birth certificate is showing alias, but the gazette you are talking about is that gunjita tuteja is changed to gunjita sukhija after marriage it will show that her name is gunjita sukhija from now on..
If name was changed from sukhija to Tuteja gazette notification was necessary
if she has reverted to her maiden name then again gazette notification is advisable
You can even now decide as to what name has to there in all the documents i.e., by which actual name she should be known, whether with alias or not and the correct name in all the documents , and you may once again follow the proper process of law for change of name and this time you can get it published ion the government gazette publication.
If the name of the mother has to be proper in the birth certificate of the child then you may have to follow the proper procedures of law and ensure personally that the particulars mentioned now are proper instead of relying on agent's careless acts which will cause you further damage.
You have to change the name of the mother of the child in all his documents, then you may have to follow the name change procedure only as per law.
The option for this is that you may once again get it published in the government gazette publication as advised in my previous post
Dear Client,
1. Applications for Visas and Passports
Ensure that Gunjita Tuteja is consistently included on all of her current documentation, including her birth certificate, passport, Aadhar, and PAN.
- Notice in the Gazette: Even though you have reversed the name using the already-existing documentation, the proper way to officially change a name is through a gazette notification. Consider getting a gazette notice verifying the name change from Gunjita Sukhija to Gunjita Tuteja in order to avoid problems in the future. This can prevent any inconsistencies and act as an official record.
2. Entrance to Schools and Other Official Concerns
Verify the consistency of all the paperwork you submit for official reasons, such as school applications. Should any document still bear the married surname Gunjita Sukhija, you may be required to substantiate the name change with more documentation.
Declaration: Make an affidavit stating that there is a name change. This can be used to verify her identification in addition to other paperwork.
Obtain Notification in the Gazette (Optional but Recommended)
Apply for Notification in the Gazette: File a name change application with the official gazette. Usually, this entails submitting an affidavit, a marriage licence, if any, and identification documentation with the maiden surname.
Publicise in the Gazette: Save a copy of the gazette as formal documentation of the name change after it is announced.
Make a Declaration of Intent
Write a Declaration: Compose a declaration affirming that Gunjita Sukhija and Gunjita Tuteja are the same individual and that her name has been changed back to her original surname.
Sign and date the affidavit. Have a notary public notarize the affidavit.
Make Sure All Documents Are Consistent
Examine Every Document: Make sure that Gunjita Tuteja's name appears on all current documentation, including your birth certificate, passport, Aadhar, and PAN.
Make any necessary corrections: Update any documents that still have the married surname on them by following the appropriate processes.
Keep all of the proofs close at hand.
- Document Copies: To be presented as needed, maintain copies of all pertinent documents, such as the affidavit and gazette notification (if acquired).
- Clear Communication: Provide all necessary supporting documentation and fully explain the name change when applying for passports, visas, school admissions, or other official purposes.
In summary, you can prevent future issues by making sure all of the documentation is consistent and by getting an affidavit and gazette notification. This will guarantee seamless processing for passports, visas, and other official matters by providing a clear and official record of the name change.
