Legal Background & Department Rules
When students apply for higher education abroad or visa clearances, foreign embassies examine whether the mother's name in the student's passport matches the mother's name on financial sponsorship bank accounts.
Discrepancies such as 'Sunita Devi' vs 'Sunita Gupta' or maiden surnames create severe authentication roadblocks.
We compile statutory affidavits and Gazette notifications confirming the mother's dual maiden/marital names, creating unassailable legal proof for consular officers.
