Hello,
- Change of name can be done by making a gazette publication with an Affidavit for change of name. This has to be published in two dailies, one English and one local vernacular.
- Once the change of name is done, you can apply for passport to be issued in the changed name as you wish to have it.
You cannot change the name in the passport without following the procedures for change of name.
They may have to prepare a notarized affidavit declaring their new name by which their surname is not sufficed.
After that they may have to publicise it by issuing a public in two local newspapers.
Then they may have to submit an application for reissue of passport for issue of new passport with the changed name and for this they may have to attach the copies of affidavit and newspaper to prove that the new name has been effectively changed.
