Hi all,
I am a PR and as am married ,I wanted to change my last name ( surname) and take my husbands last name .I have an Indian passport which is valid till 2021 and when I called the CGI (Toronto) , they said I cannot apply for name change in my passport as it is still valid and can do so only when I have to apply for a new one which is in 2021. Is it true ?? Cant beleive that !!!
For info,my husbands passport is expiring in Jun 2012 and I want to send mine too with his so that we both can write each others names in the spouse slot in the passport. Also when he applies for renewal, what document do we need to send for proof of marraige, is a marraige certificate from Gujarat (where we got married) good enough coz the website says they wld accept only certificates issued in New Delhi,Patiala house. Plz help !!
