My spouse changed her name after marriage. What are the documents required to be attached for the name change? Her current passport, National Identity Card and Police Certificates are based on the new name. Do I still need to attach any other legal document. I am just planning to attach a LOE alongwith the new passport and old passport (with old name on it) as a proof.

Is it ok?
 
LOE and marriage certificate. Something with her maiden name and then her married name.

In addition to the above you can also add a One and the same person affidavit. You can get a sample from here:

All the best

Notarized Affidavit is important. If you insist to submit the application , Another option is after submitting the application , you can upload this document later.

If you are in India ( in our state) the village office gives the one and the same person certificate. That would be better.

Maybe you can also upload an old passport bio page(if you have any) with your old name on it, I am doing the same thing... however I think those that you mentioned are enough....

Hi there, I am in a exactly same situation so just wanted to check if you did submit the affidavit? Or can we do without it? Thanks in advance for any help! :)
