12-Mar-2023 (In Documentation Law)
Hi my daughter is 7 yrs old I renewed her passport with name changed (with gazette notification) can I change her name again in passport after all formalities ? Is there any limitations of number of attempts in name change in passport? Can she travel abroad with her old passport if I change her name again but renew passport later ,as it's valid till next 5 years ? Thanks

Yes you may change her name in the passport. As per my knowledge there is no bar on the number of attempts in name change in a passport. With respect to your query, if she can travel with the old passport for that it is not advisable for her to travel in the old name passport even though its validity has not been expired. In order to change her name, you will have to apply for re-issue of passport.
