Spouse name



Can i add spouse name in passport without marriage certificate:

Marriage Certificate no longer a compulsion 

Now with the change in the rules, applicants for Passport need not submit the marriage certificate or divorce decree if they are separated or divorced. The applicant alsoo doesn't need to mention the name of the former spouse in the application. 


How do I get a passport without a marriage certificate?

A marriage certificate is no longer required while applying for a passport (along with the annexure K) for a married individual. In addition, the applicant doesn't have to provide his/her spouse name. This is an interesting rule implemented after considering the changing communal norms.


Is it mandatory to mention marital status in passport?

Yes. If you need to change the status during application just mention it to the person on the counter. If you have a passport, apply for reissue of passport on account of change in personal particulars. In the past, a marriage certificate was required, but it seems this requirement has been done away with.
