Passport name change and corrections in Pune
Name changes after marriage, spelling corrections, date of birth changes and address updates are all filed as a re-issue. The category is straightforward; the supporting document is what decides whether the file goes through.
What we can change
Every change is filed against a record that proves it. Where that record exists the file is routine. Where it does not, the work is in obtaining or bridging it properly before anything is submitted.
Usually asked for
The document decides the outcome
A change of particulars is only as strong as the record behind it. Where the supporting document does not exist yet, we tell you how to obtain it properly rather than filing something that will come back.
Corrections that need an affidavit
Where no official record supports the change, or where two of your documents disagree with each other, an affidavit or annexure is what bridges the gap. Drafting it for your specific circumstances is the part that matters.
Common situations
How your file moves
The same four steps as any re-issue, with the supporting document checked before the application is made.
Talk to us
Call, message on WhatsApp or walk into the Somwar Peth office. Tell us what you need and we will list out which documents apply to your specific case.
Document check
Every proof is verified before anything is submitted. This is where most applications go wrong, so this is where we spend the most time.
Filing and appointment
We complete the application, pay the government fee and book the earliest slot available to us at that time.
Visit and delivery
You are briefed on what happens at each counter. We then track the file and update you until it is done.
What you pay
Two separate amounts, always told to you before we begin. Nothing is added later.
What we can and cannot control
Processing time, police verification and the final decision rest entirely with the Regional Passport Office. What we take responsibility for is a complete and correctly documented application, and a clear update from us at every stage.
