Applicants are also expected to provide a newspaper change of name publication where applicable. This document is especially important for women who have adopted their husband’s surname after marriage and need to establish a link between their maiden and married names.
In addition, a copy of the husband’s valid identification card and a recent utility bill are required. The utility bill helps confirm the residential address of the husband, while the ID card serves as proof of identity and supports the relocation request.
