My documents list my name as 'S V N Rish.....,' but my passport shows 'Sai Venkata......' due to abbreviation rules. I want to change my name to 'Sai Rish....' for consistency. Which old name should I use in the affidavit, newspapers, and Gazette? Case 1: Using the passport's full name might confuse foreign universities, as my documents use the abbreviated name. Case 2: Using the abbreviated name might be rejected by the passport office. Can I mention both names in the affidavit?
To resolve this, file an affidavit stating both names, mentioning your current legal name and the name in your passport. Publish this in a newspaper and the Gazette. Update your passport if necessary, ensuring consistency across documents. This approach helps maintain clarity and avoids confusion in official records.
