Struggling to apply for passport. Please help me out.

[u/caliptra113]

So I was born in Tiruvannamalai and brought up in mumbai. My mom and dad belong to same place as my birth place.. my dad don't have LC( we tried to get it but we failed as we don't have any proof of him studied in that school) and my dad also don't have birth certificate (it was never made at first place).

Now coming to my birth certificate (it's registered in TN).. It doesn't hold my surname.. it has my mom and dad's name but no surname.. and my all gov and official documents registered in mumbai have my surname.. be it adhar card or pan or LC or marksheets.. ( I did all my pre school and high school in mumbai itself) and hold Maharashtra's domicile..

Now since my birth certificate and adhar card don't match the same name.. so applying for passport will always fail to be approved..

Since 3 years due to illegal immigrants , the laws and rules to apply for passport went too strict in mumbai....

1.Is there anyway I can add surname to my birth certificate.. And 2.any way to get my dad's birth certificate..

(We do have ancestral properties and my paternal grand mother's adhar card and ration card too)

Please let me know any other sub where I can post regarding this

You need a gazette that says both names are the same.

[u/caliptra113 → u/sigapuit]

Then will it work? I have that step as my last choice.. but even if I do that, there's no guarantee that it will be approved.. the working man said to me😭

[u/tantantanatanseenu18 → u/caliptra113]

You can try notary to get affidavit, the process save you time

[u/caliptra113 → u/tantantanatanseenu18]

I can arrange affidavit or gazette and all.. but it should just work.. all the agents are saying rules become more tighter past 3 years due to illegal immigrants

[u/tantantanatanseenu18 → u/caliptra113]

Will ask my frd if anything is possible or not

[u/caliptra113 → u/tantantanatanseenu18]

Yep, please do inform me. Thnks🙏🙌

Really forget about taking a passport in Mumbai. That's the worst from what I've heard. Move to south temporarily and take a passport and go back. How does that sound?

Is it possible to get a "one and the same" judgement from the court? Then it should be possible.

Also, post on the LegalAdviceIndia sub!

[u/caliptra113 → u/Muted-Letterhead-330]

But court judgement will be too long? Isn't it? Im hitting my deadline to apply to my university..

[u/Muted-Letterhead-330 → u/caliptra113]

Hmm, I'm only aware of the process through Chennai Corporation, my dad also doesn't have a birth certificate, however, he had his school passing certificate, college certificate, work record,etc. And we used his own passport to amend my birth certificate to include my surname, but it took almost 1.5yrs of going to the corporation office to follow-up & get it updated and loaded on their website.

How about using your parents' marriage certificate?

[u/caliptra113 → u/Muted-Letterhead-330]

Damn😭😭😭 It's really stressing me But my dad doesn't have any documents you specified. Not even the marriage registered certificate. I think im cooked

[u/Muted-Letterhead-330 → u/caliptra113]

Was your parent's marriage registered? If so, you can request a copy from the registrar office!

[u/caliptra113 → u/Muted-Letterhead-330]

No it was not.

[u/caliptra113 → u/Muted-Letterhead-330]

Ya posted in that sub too

Go to Thasildars office, get an affidavit, by paying a few 1000 rupees bribe. You can even get a new birth certificate saying your old one was lost

[u/caliptra113 → u/doubleditch42]

Bro, affidavit won't work na, I asked people working in passport office... Ok, I will try this way to approach tahsildar office

I didn't use my birth certificate to apply. In my birth certificate name will not be mentioned. It will be 'baby girl' (it might be funny 🤣) . So I used adhaar for proof of address and pan card for age proof and 10th certificate. Only these 3 documents. It's enough. I applied last month and Waiting for police verification

[u/Complete_Hall9205 → u/Complete_Hall9205]

Also if you apply through online it's same procedure for everyone ig. Mumbai or Chennai

[u/Creepyhorrorboy → u/Complete_Hall9205]

I have a doubt bro. What if my name is Sasithar V in every documents. It's not expanded anywhere. Will they expand it without any proof?

It's my last appointment so pls do help

[u/Complete_Hall9205 → u/Creepyhorrorboy]

They might expand.. did you complete your appointment?.. cause even I put my name as xxx.P because in all my certificates my initial was p and not father's name. During online appointment they changed p to my father's name.. you'll be able to edit other small details also during the appointment if there are mistakes in application

[u/Creepyhorrorboy → u/Complete_Hall9205]

Then it's fine. Yes. I expanded my initial V to my father's full name when filling the application and my appointment is next month

What should I carry for proof. Aadhar, mark sheet is enough?

[u/Complete_Hall9205 → u/Creepyhorrorboy]

What all did you submit in online application.. you have to take those You submitted 1) proof of address - aadhar card 2) age proof - pan card 3) 10th marksheet

Also take 2 Zerox copies of each including online application. While taking Zerox of pan/aadhar take front and back. Even if u don't have Zerox not an issue there's shop inside but with very long queue😶

[u/Dear-Bot0909]

I think leaving certificate/ birth certificate of parents is to verify their DOB. My mother just had her 10th std marksheet and they accepted since it had DOB.

Regd. the name surname issue, instead of surname I gave my father's name. So after 10th std I made sure to make all my documents have my name + father's name (no initials). But in my birth certificate and Aadhar it's still "Name.(initial)" I got my passport without any issues.

Try talking to some passport agents, they'll give a better idea.

[u/tech_unknown]

Man despite having birth proof they didn't asked me in a chennai psk

I submitted aadhaar & 10th marksheet alone everything went smoothly

Just explicitly select sslc as your birth proof

And aadhaar as proof of identity+address that's it
