I have my father's initial in 10th marksheet and husband's name as surname in aadhar card. I have applied for passport and scheduled a document verification. So now, do I need to change my name in aadhar card from my husband's surname to my father's ? .....or is it okay not to change.

For your passport application, it's generally okay to not change your Aadhaar card name from your husband's surname to your father's initials unless specifically requested by the passport verification officer; however, to avoid potential issues, it's best to update your Aadhaar card to reflect your father's initials to ensure consistency across your documents, especially if you plan on traveling frequently or need to use your Aadhaar card for other official purposes.

While discrepancies between your Aadhaar and other documents might not automatically disqualify your passport application, the verification officer may ask for clarification or additional documents if they notice the difference.

Having a consistent name across all official documents can prevent problems when presenting your identification for various purposes like banking, travel, or other official transactions.

If you decide to change your Aadhaar card, simply visit a UIDAI enrolment center with your 10th marksheet as proof of your father's name.
