I suggest you to not to renew your passport in a single status. Because it amounts to concealing of true facts. It is better to disclose that you are married. But you need to convince your husband to get your marriage registered before the jurisdictional Marriage officer. Date of separation should be mentioned subjection only if you have decided to divorce him in future. Otherwise do not mention anything in the column.
