OCI date of name change

[rscricket]

Hi,

My wife changed her name after marriage. She got Indian passport issued in this new name when she renewed her India passport. Then she got her citizenship also in this new name.

Now we are applying for OCI card. On the additional particulars form, she is asked for date of name change. What is her date of name change? Is this the date when her Indian passport with new name was issued?

Thanks.

I would think it would be the date when her name was officially changed.

We didn't "officially" change her name. When we got the new India passport for her, we told them to make her new passport with her new name.

don't worry about that question. as long as the name on the latest Indian passport, Naturalization certificate, and current passport are the same name, OCI application will not be rejected.
