Hi, We want to change the name of our website yr old child. We were thinking of getting it done before getting his passport made and that he has a valid birth certificate from Gurgaon Authority. I would like to ask if the process is same as that for a ny other case, or there are some relaxations available in this particular scenario in law. Thanks in advance for your help and time.

The Birth certificate is applied for change or correction can be done by the same issuing authority within the first 2-3 years.
if it is late then it is to be done through the court of Magistrate.
There is no special relaxation. The process s same for everyone.
