Urgent Name Change in Passport?

Two men are sitting at a desk in what appears to be a government office. One man is handing the other a document labeled "REQUEST FOR NAME CHANGE."

To urgently change the name on your Indian passport, you must apply for reissue online, gather all necessary documents (such as a gazette notification, affidavit, or newspaper clipping) proving the name change, and schedule an appointment at a Passport Seva Kendra (PSK). You will also need to provide your current passport, proof of your new name and address, and pay a fee.
