My wife recently got her name changed in her passport. Could you tell me which documents need to be updated with this new name, like educational certificates, employment records, government IDs, and property papers? Is it absolutely necessary to make these changes?

In India, it’s crucial to update your wife’s name in all official documents including educational certificates, employment records, Aadhaar card, PAN card, voter ID, driving license, passport, and property papers. Failing to do so can lead to legal complications and difficulties in accessing services or transactions.
