Should I apply for a passport now even though my name is not updated on all documents?
Yes, you can apply for your passport now, even if your name isn't updated on all documents. However, it's important to have the same name on all official records to avoid future issues.
Check that your name matches across key documents like your Aadhaar card, PAN card, and educational certificates. If there are discrepancies, update those documents first before applying for your passport.
Having consistent details on all documents helps prevent delays in visa applications, university admissions, and other official processes. If you need guidance on updating documents, reach out to your LeapScholar counsellor.
