  • Change of Name - Married to Maiden

    I am writing to inquire about the process for getting back my maiden name on my Indian passport. I am still married but am interested in retrieving my last name from before marriage.

    - I was married 5 years ago in Mumbai while my husband was on H1B. On my marriage certificate, my maiden last name (TAWDE) was changed to my husbands family name.
    - I got a new passport immediately after that which also reflected the new last name (HOLKAR).
    - And then, the new name (HOLKAR) naturally got carried over to my Green Card.

    Name before marriage: [My Name] [Fathers Name] [TAWDE]
    Name after marriage/ Current Name: [My Name] [Husbands Name] [HOLKAR]

    Desired Name: [My Name] [TAWDE] [HOLKAR] or [My Name] [HOLKAR] [TAWDE]
    Visa Status: Green Card holder

    I had a few questions regarding this situation:
    1. Is such a name change possible?
    2. If yes then what documents are necessary? Are there any special forms that I need to fill out other than the Passport Application Form and the Personal Particulars Form?
    3. Once I have the passport with the new name, can I update the name on my Green card to match the passport?

    I highly appreciate all your help in this matter.

    PS: I have my husbands full consent with this name change.

    Thanks..
