1,The name f the father from the birth certificate cannot be changed anymore.

2.Do not change the name of her biological father in subsequent documents alsos as the same may lead to confusion.

3.Your lover and compassion for the child is enough for her proper upbringing.Mere change of name of her biological would bring nothing except anomaly in her educational records leading to unnecessary complications.

My elder daughter also should carry my name as legal father. My wife and mysekf requested school HM to change but she insist to get legal documents on this. Pls guide me or advise on this

You are only a step father of the child and not the biological father so that you can request for change of name of father.

If you desire to change the name of the father in the birth certificate you may have to adopt the child and get the adoption registered and declared by a court order based ion which you can apply for change of name of father in the birth certificate.

Before that you ensure the eligibility conditions for adoption since you have already another girl child and this one is elder to your biological daughter.
