As per the rules, Incase of Any change of name in Passport, Only Deed Poll Affidavit is not enough, Applicant should get a Deed Poll Affidavit & also publish advertisements in two reputed newspapers (one local newspaper & one national newspaper ) and submit original newspapers at the time of applying for passport in his/her new name.

Publish your change of name ads for Passport in 2 reputed Newspapers

â—˜ Indian Express (1 National Newspaper ) + Jansatta (1 Local Newspaper )
