I noticed that I have wrong mother’s name in passport. I get my birth certificate reissued with correct mother’s name. I am currently in US. Can anyone tell me the procedure to get mothers name corrected in passport. I checked BLS and indian consulate website as well. Below is the thing written on indian consulate website
"Birth Certificates issued by the relevant authorities in India would be acceptable only when these are attested by the General Administration Department of the State concerned and of Ministry of External Affairs, New Delhi. [http://www.mea.gov.in/legalization-of-documents.htm](http://www.mea.gov.in/legalization-of-documents.htm)"
Does that mean I need to get my birth certificate attested from MEA,delhi. Have any one faced this issue.
I need to get the mothers name corrected in my passport for following things:
1) To invite her in US so that my passport particulars should match with her particulars
2) For GC processing as there mother's name on birth certificate is not matching with my passport.
>> Update 1: Okay. So here is the update. Today I called BLS and they told me "everything is on website" for all the questions. I checked and figured out that I need to get a notarized copy of BC and affadavit to change mothers name. Can anyone provide the detailed procedure who has done this in recent past.
