A notarized affidavit plus your Marriage Certificate is widely accepted for updating Aadhaar, PAN, bank records, and voter ID with your married surname. For a passport specifically, use the separate Annexure D format instead. Generate yours free.
What This Affidavit Covers
Whether you're adding your spouse's surname, dropping your maiden surname, or changing it entirely after marriage, this affidavit formally declares the change and links your old and new names to the same person - for every office and bank that still has your maiden name on file.
Where to Update Your Married Name
| Document/Office | What's Needed |
|---|---|
| Aadhaar | Notarized affidavit + Marriage Certificate, submitted via UIDAI's update process |
| PAN card | Affidavit + Marriage Certificate as supporting proof with the PAN correction application |
| Passport | Use the separate Annexure D format prescribed by the Ministry of External Affairs, not a general affidavit |
| Bank accounts | Affidavit + Marriage Certificate, submitted to your specific branch |
| Voter ID | Supports your address/name correction application through your state's election portal |

Open Name Change After Marriage Affidavit →What Is Annexure D?
If you're specifically applying for or renewing a passport with your married name, the Ministry of External Affairs has its own prescribed format - Annexure D - rather than accepting a general-purpose affidavit. Check the current Passport Seva Kendra requirement before submitting, since passport applications are stricter about using their exact format.
What Stamp Paper Value Do You Need?
This varies by state - typically ₹50 or ₹100 non-judicial or e-stamp paper, but not uniform across India. Confirm the exact value with your local notary before printing, and it must be attested by a Notary Public or Executive Magistrate.
Supporting Documents to Attach
- Self-attested copy of your Marriage Certificate
- Pre-marriage identity proof showing your maiden name (10th marksheet, maiden-name Aadhaar, or PAN)
- A joint photograph with your spouse, if the specific office asks for it
This is a reference format, not legal advice. Stamp paper value, supporting documents, and whether an affidavit alone suffices (versus needing Annexure D or a Gazette notification) vary by office and by state - always confirm with the specific authority before submitting.
