I would say 2nd option and go for a new passport if possible as then you will have two passports one with the old name and one with the new correct one.

Hope that helps.

HI

Thanks for your mail.

As you suggested if I am going for change the name in the passport I will be getting a new passport which will have the issue date as current date, but names in the documents are issued 3 years back whether it will make any issue.
If My apply for the passport then i need to change in BPR document.

Thanks!

No it won't as ur passport is on your maiden name and new passport is on married name. Also, the docs are in your married name. Keep your marriage certificate with you and you will be fine.
