evidence: Exclusion of father/mother name from passport of minor in single parent custody 1. The online passport application form now permits that an applicant may provide the name of father or mother or legal guardian, i.e., only one parent and not both. This would enable single parents to apply for passports for their children and get passport(s) issued where the name of either the father or the mother is not required to be printed at the request of the applicant. [...] (a) A self-declaration on a plain paper stating that he/she does not want to have biological father/mother’s name on his/her passport and instead of that, the name of the step father/mother be mentioned against the column of father’s/mother’s name. The applicant also has to declare that in future if there is litigation, the entire onus to defend such a case will be on him/her.
