If you Birth name i.e your first name (some people have middle name) is different from the one you're using now, then you have to select "Yes" and choose "Birth". For female if they change the last name after marriage then they need to select "Yes" and choose Name Before Marriage and enter their First Name and Surname (Fathers Name).

In India we usually go by first name and Surname Initial, and in the Passport we have Firstname and Surname. Tt does not mean that you have changed your name, the way the name displayed is different , for that you can get notarized "Same Name Affidavit" saying Firstname surname initial ( AAAAA X ) and Firstname Surname ( AAAAA XXXXX) are same person

Its my understanding, if someone feel that I am wrong or have any suggestion please feel free to comment.

It only means if you had a maiden name or you changed your name.

Have the notarized affidavit that both names represent one and the same person!

Hi Guys,

My wife's surname/family name was different before marriage. However her passport has new surname and she is not accompanying me for PR. Do i still need to provide an affidavit for name change ? How about marriage certificate , will that be sufficient ?
