Consent Letter for Addition of Middle Name – Indian Passport Renewal (VFS Submission)
 
This document is a consent letter required for Indian passport renewal applications when the applicant wishes to add a middle name that does not currently appear in their existing Indian passport.
 
By submitting this letter to VFS Global / the Indian Consulate, the applicant formally authorizes the addition of a middle name and confirms how their Given Name, Middle Name, and Surname should appear in the re-issued passport.
 
This consent letter helps avoid delays or rejection due to name discrepancies between the existing passport, the government application form, and supporting documents such as visas, residence permits, or marriage certificates.
 
Use this document if:
Your current passport does not include a middle name
You want to add a middle name during passport renewal
Your legal documents already reflect the middle name
