The process of adding spouse’s name in passport has now become very easy. Till now, marriage registration was required to add the name. Usually people who do traditional marriages in India do not get registered.
In such a situation, they have to face trouble to get the name added in the passport. Now the government has made this process easy. Now you will be able to add the name of the spouse in the passport without marriage certificate. For this, you just have to share a photo of both of you and sign it jointly. In this way, the self-attested photo of the marriage will be considered as a document and on its basis the name of the spouse will be added in the passport.
For this, the option of Annexure J has been given by the Ministry of External Affairs. Now you will go to Annexure J and upload your wedding photo or any other joint photo with both of you. This will be accepted as a certificate. Usually, registering marriages is a complicated process and people keep it pending for years to avoid it. Then whenever there is a need for a job transfer or passport etc., they have to face problems. Now the Ministry of External Affairs has completely removed the problem of adding the name of the husband or wife in the passport.
Actually, in many states like Maharashtra, marriage registration is done easily and people get this process done immediately after marriage. But such is not the case in many North Indian states like UP, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Haryana. Here people usually do not get their marriages registered and documents are not available at the time of need.
In view of such cases, the Ministry of External Affairs has provided the facility of joint photo declaration as an option. Under this, those applying for passport will have to tell their names. After this, the name of their husband or wife will have to be entered. Then the joint photo will have to be uploaded by going to Annexure J and both of them will also have to sign there.
Here it has to be mentioned that they are together as a married couple. Apart from this, the applicant has to tell that the passport should be issued only after including the name of his or her husband or wife. Under the option given in Annexure J, signatures have to be made along with the joint photograph.
Apart from this, one has to write his or her place and the date of signing. Apart from this, one has to mention his or her name, Aadhaar card number, voter ID number and passport number etc. The government believes that if the documents of both are correct and they have a photo, then there is no problem in getting the passport attested. This will ensure complete validity and people can also be saved from complications.
