Indian husband, USA wife ... name to be changed after marriage

[sawangosavi]

Hello Sir,

I am an Indian Citizen and my Wife is a USA citizen (and OCI card holder). We are currently residing in Pune, India.

We intend to change my wife's name to post marriage name on all her official documents. WE HAVE THE MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE.

**** **** **** **** *** Query **** **** **** **** **** *
1) Since we are in India currently, can we go ahead and change the name in the India documents mentioned below ?
In the future when we go to USA, we would then change the name in US documents.

IS IT LEGAL to have such scenario wherein some documents would have different name than other documents. The joining link between these documents would then be the marriage certificate.

2) The US passport has a OCI visa sticker. Now if we change the name on the OCI booklet, how do we go ahead and change the name on the OCI visa sticker in the US passport, since we are not changing the name on the US passport ?

Below are some of the documents that are currently owned by her -

USA documents -
1) USA passport
2) Indian Visa on USA passport
3) SSN number
4) USA Driver's License
5) USA Credit Card
6) Bank Accounts in USA
7) Vehicle Registration
8) Insurance

India documents -
1) FRRO registration with local police
2) OCI booklet
3) Bank Account in Indian Bank
4) PAN card
5) India Driving License
6) India Credit Card

Would appreciate if you could answer these queries.
