Consent Letter for Name Split – Indian Passport Renewal (VFS Submission)
 
This document is a signed consent letter required for Indian passport renewal applications when the applicant’s current passport lists both the first and last name under the “Given Name” field, and the surname field is blank.
 
By submitting this letter to VFS Global / the Indian Consulate, the applicant formally authorizes the correction and split of their name into a proper Given Name and Surname in the re-issued passport.
This consent letter helps prevent application delays or rejections caused by name-format mismatches between the existing passport, government application form, and supporting documents.
 
Use this document if:
Your current passport shows your full name only under Given Name
Your surname field is empty or incorrect
You are requesting VFS/Consulate to correctly split and print your name in the renewed passport
