To Brenda Fernandes
Hi,
I had applied for my B.I. on 22 of October 2018. Today is 4th of December 2018. Till now my B.i
Is not arrived. I emailed the consulate, they replied to me saying that " your b.I. Is not ready for collection. Please check with us next week, since there has been a delay because the pins of your card have not arrived.

Is this normal, because it's been more than a month now.

Aadhar accepted her Goa govt birth registration certificate, her Goa govt Marriage certificate and her Gazette copy.
Pan card accepted the Birth certificate and Aadhar.

Maria
How did you amend your mothers name in her Pan and Aadhar cards.

Vanessa
Ah yes! One more thing, Adding of middle name is considered as major change in name. You can check out the information on the passport website and what documentation is required is all there. For eg. If your name is Sandeep and you want to change it to Sandip then that's a minor change no documentation is required for that. Alternatively drop in an email or call up the passport helpline number they will tell you if you can get the needful done only on the basis of your Birth certificate and Marriage Certificate. Hope both those documents that you have with you are Government registered documents and not church documents as those are not accepted at all.

Vanessa
If you have any government documents like birth certificate and marriage certificate plus any documentation like pan card with your mother's correct name (you can get your mother's name printed on your pan card now)they may accept. But they will ask you for her passport to check her name there. If on your mother's passport her middle name is not mentioned they will not accept. I've just got all these changes done four months ago so I'm well versed with all documents the passport office asked me. I asked the passport office to put her documents on hold twice because I wanted to be doubly sure. Try your luck though. It depends on who you get at the passport office. It's like a gamble.

Alexio
Yes, that’s exactly what I was writing. I am not changing my mothers name only asking to add her existing middle from her BC into my passport. Yes marriage certificate is there.

Hi, since you are not changing your mothers name, you are not required to produce any other document except your birth certificate to the passport officer. Mam, try it.Also keep parent's marriage certificate handy if passport officer may demand to see.
