Answer 1

You need to mention and declare present Marital Status on passport.

If you are divorced or married.
Passport is a legal Identity document and should convey present correct identity of yours.

If you are married, the mention married, if divorced then single.

In case if you mention married and expected to get divorce soon then after divorced you can get it removed your married status from your passport.

Answer 2

You must give your correct marital status in application for renewal. If you are not legally seperated, then there is no way you can avoid getting her name in your passport, unless you declare your marital status as single. (Assuming that you were single when your old passport was issued).

Answer 3

Execute an affidavit and have it attested by a notary public. Then use this affidavit for passport data so that the spouse name will not appear in the renewal of your passport.

Answer 4

it u write u are married ( in your passport applicaiton column marital status ) u have to give the name of your spouse.If u write unmarried, u are giving a wrong statement as both of u are not legally divorced. Final decison has to be yours
