The Passport office in Mumbai is asking for all documents. I had my cousin whose passport had to be renewed. His pan card had total three names including surname. His fathers death certificate had his father’s original name withthe Pet name.
Since his school mark sheet had pet name of his father the passport authorities refused to make any changes on his fathers name and asked him to renew with the same pet name as his father is not alive to certify that his fathers original name is Thia. I asked why can’t he give an affidavit, when the death certificate ha his pet name in bracket why can’t the government authorities at the passport take it.
