Hi All,

I am applying for PR in express entry Calgary, since I am claiming points for my wife's educational document. I need to provide legal name change document.

I do have marriage certificate which has her name before marriage.
I do have her Indian passport which has her name after marriage.

After marriage I have not created any legal name change document in India

Where can I get legal name change document created in Toronto? BLS or Indian consulate?

What is procedure?

Thanks for you help in advance.

Thanks
Kiran

You will be fine to upload the passport and marriage certificate as the evidence.

Create a sample name change Affidavit on plain paper and take it to a notary for attestation.Couple of points:

1) Your wife need to go with you
2) You also need to take the originals with you which shows her previous and current name

I did the same around 2 months back.

You could explain your case in LOE and add a note in case any further information are required then to contact you. That should be sufficient
