Issue with Police certificate

[elsy & mark 17]

So i got my police certificate however they have mentioned as Miss (first name) (last name). I have decided not to change my surname to my husbands. So is this document ok to be used or i will have to get it changed to Mrs. When i call them they are saying that they give the certificate based on the martital status on the passport something like that.I am using the same passport which i had before marriage. If someone has gone through similar experience pls share.

My experience,

I hvenot added my spouse name in my indian passport. I havenot applied for reissue to add my spouse name. since it is optional i didnt update my passport after marriage. When i went to the passport office for PCC on scheduled time, I was asked for the country for which pcc is required. Since i filled out my spouse name in PCC appointment form, I was asked for marriage certificate, I showed them the marriage certificate(photocopy), but they didnot collect it from me(some office may collect it from u for evidence). Later they printed my PCC in which my name,passport number and my spouse name, USA are reflecting and it says i hve no any criminal records.

Adding spouse name or showing marital status as married in passport are optional. Pls Dont think it wil affect visa process or interview. You can simply say to consulates during interview that u didnot update your passport after wedding . Already one of my friend went to US on CR1 , she didnot add her spouse name in passport. You should be fine as long as u hav marriage certificate and all other evidences for bonafide marriage. No one can ask or do anything for passport stuff.

As i showed them my marriage certificate, They mentioned my name in PCC was Mrs.XXXXXXX W/o, XXXXXXX. So The passport is still the same with no updates but i have my PCC updated.

This s my experience. But about your question, I think you should be fine and explain this to consulate during interview. PCC is jus for criminal records , not for bonafide marriage evidence. So jus go with guts and show other evidences for bonafide relationship.

Thank you.

Jokes apart, thank you so much for taking time to share your experience.Appreciate it. Checked again with them and they think that the document is fine and we can do the explanation to the CO later. So going to use the same document.
