Hi,

I am from India. I am getting my marriage registered on July 21st 2015. I do not intend to change my name after marriage. I got my upfront medical exam done recently on 4th July where my passport copy was used.

Lately, a new question has come forth.
Do I have to get my passport re issued with my spouse name on it even if I intend to keep my old name as it is??
If so, the re issuance would change the passport number so how will it comply with the upfront medical report??

I was hoping to use my old passport without any re issuance and provide the marriage registration certificate in my application as proof enough for marriage. I need guidance in this matter. Please help.

Regards.

Good day,
