Name Issue in WES and Passport for EE

[canadareddy]

Hi all,
My name is given as Priya Devi M in my academic certificates. After marriage, I changed my surname to "Priya Devi Ramesh" and updated the same in the passport. But while creating WES account, I used the name in academics "Priya Devi M." Just now, I came to know from some facebook groups that I should give my passport name, and WES will add a discrepancy that "name doesn't match." For this, I should provide an LOE in EE profile.
Now please tell shall I get my report under "Priya Devi M" or ask for a refund and create a new WES application with passport name i,e, "Priya Devi Ramesh" and get the report.
Kindly help me with this.

I have one more doubt; In my old passport instead of a single letter "M" as a surname, they wrote MOHAS DASS(father's name) so as per my old passport, my name is "Priya Devi Mohan Dass." Passport authority of India will not accept the single letter as a surname, so my father's full name was given. But, now after marriage, I have updated my passport with my husband's name.
My question is:
Should I upload my old passport while creating EE profile
Should I mention "Priya Devi Mohan Dass" in LOE, i.e., why instead of "Priya Devi M" I have "Priya Devi Mohan Dass."
Should I give "Priya Devi Mohan Dass" also in my same person affidavit along with "Priya Devi M" "Priya Devi Ramesh."

Thanks in advance

Getting an affidavit is the best idea.

WES doesn't ask you a copy of your passport, so they have no way to verify whether the name given to them is the passport name or not, also, WES will issue the report with the name mentioned your academic credentials and not your passport, even if you have mentioned your post marriage name on your WES application.

1. No, you should upload only your new passport while creating the EE profile.
2. You can mention it in your LOE that your maiden name is Priya Devi Mohan Dass and changed your name after marriage [which will be evident, because you would be uploading your marriage certificate as well.
3. Yes, you can mention that.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your immediate reply.
So shall I leave my WES application as such and provide a LOE for this and one and same name affidavit with all three names i.e,
Priya Devi Ramesh
Priya Devi M
Priya Devi Mohan Dass

Your first name remains the same.

Like everyone has suggested, make an affidavit and also do not make any changes to your WES account now.

Write a proper letter of explanation, attach your marriage certificate and if needed attach a scan of your old passport along with the affidavit supporting your name change after marriage and you should be fine.
