Dear gangster,

Well, it is common, in asian countries at least, that ladies change their family name after marriage. Same is the case with my wife too. But I feel that you have made a mistake in your marriage certificate, I might be wrong. I believe that female should have printed their pre-marriage name on the marriage certificate. The reason is that the family name is changed after marriage when female signs on the marriage certificate, such as your wife signed the marriage certificate as Yendoti but not as Gumma. Then after marriage, if female changes the family name, it must be reflected on all those official documents which normally have expiry date such as National ID cards, passports, driving license etc.

You could submit her birth certificate, diplomas/degrees certificate obtained before marriage, marriage certificate (in your case, marriage certificate carrys her post-marriage name not pre-marriage) as a proof of pre-marriage name while National ID card, passports, driving license issued after marriage as a proof of post-marriage name along with a letter giving explanation of the family name change. That's what I did.

Since this is a change in family name ONLY for a valid reason, it is not required to take any specific legal document from Government or announcing in the newspaper etc., above mentioned documents along with an explanation letter should be more than enough to prove the case.

Thank you very much for your kind concern and answer
but I would like to explain you few things

Since our marriage was registered after 15 days of our marriage
that is the reason they mentioned my family name for my wife.
To be precise
I would submit

1. birth certificate and degree certificate to explains bout pre-,marriage name
2. marriage certificate and passport copies along with sworn affidavit my wife which will be notarized one for proof of post marriage.

is it ok ?

Do you think I need to change my marriage certificate.

NDVO Guys do check names seriously. I have few references. Marriage certificate should have surname of your wife.You can change the surname later in passport.

This leads to delay in processing.

That is why I have not changed my wife's surname yet.As all the education documents and national IDs have her surname (by birth). Any particular reason you want to change it now only.

hello everyone

I am in deep confusion regarding " Legal document for name change"

My wife maiden Family name is "Yendoti", after our marriage her family name changed as "Gumma"

Accordingly, we took marriage certificate and there after applied for passport and got the passport with Family name " Gumma"

To be concise, my marriage certificate and her passport contains my family name"Gumma"

Now my confusion is , these documents can be used for Legal document for name change i mean Family name change.

I am deseperatlely in need of help for the above question

Please help me

Is she the primary applicant? If yes, I would suggest you go for the legal name change as the credential evaluation will contain her name as Yendoti.
It is not a time consuming process. Go for it.
 
No
She is not principal applicant
I am the pricipal applicant
and she is dependent

Wife's birth certificate is mandatory. There is an applicant in the forum who's document rejected because of not submitting wife's birth certificate. I advice you to gather both birth certificate and degree certificate of your wife for submission.
