OCI SFO - Last name issue

[sln]

My wife changed her last name during naturalization and we don't have any proper certificate (other than Naturalization certificate with new name) from County.

Initially we got an email asking "CONSENT TO RESTORE DETAILS AS IN INDIAN PASSPORT DETAILS "

We provided the consent and there was no response for 10 days.

Now when I check the status, I see:

Pending document/Rejection details:

Additional documents Remarks	4/6/21: Submit missing document by mail
Name change documentation	4/6/21: Your name (applicant) on OCI application form does not exactly match with your previous Indian passport. Submit Notarized Statement/Affidavit to explain the difference or change of names. AND Submit copy of court orders for name change if any

I did not get any email notification on this.

What kind of document should we submit for name change?

Thanks

Google one and same person affidavit and send that notarized. Also state the reasoning behind name change.

Thanks.. Were you in the same situation and did the "one and same person" letter worked?

Yes my dad had different last names on our Indian Passport and on our current application. We wrote a letter regarding the difference and sent it notarized.

sln - same here. I thought of submitting a random notarized template/letter but now, I want to know exactly what works for this, too. it's frustrating because they won't say which doc they want while you fill out the application

sin check this out -name-change-affidavit.pdf (vfsglobal.com) . I will be using this and getting it attested by a local notary.
