• Mother's Incorrect Name in Birth Certificate

Hi,

My name is CHIRAG NAYAK

My wife's name in all legal documents including school/college certificates, voter ID, passport, aadhar, property documents etc is "YAMINI DWIVEDI", but it is mentioned as "YAMINI CHIRAG NAYAK" in my daughter's birth certificate. 

Marriage certificate is with names : Chirag Nayak and Yamini Dwivedi

As her name in passport/aadhar etc (yamini dwivedi) is not matching mother's name in my daughter's birth certificate, my daughter's School is not confirming her admission citing the difference. 

How can I get the name in birth certificate rectified to "Yamini Dwivedi" ?

You need to go to the District registrar's office of your district and gather a document asking the Municipal Corporation who issues birth certificate in your area to do rectification of the name in your certificate. It takes about 15 days and you will get new birth certificate with correct name.

Dear Client,

School management`s inability to figure out such small comparison is idiotic

Better find some other school for child.

Apply to municipal office to rectify name in birth certificate or lastly it will rectify by SDM.

See just once you convey to the school this thing even though if they doesn’t execut an affidavit of 20 rupees( Non judicial stamp) stating the two names and now it’s been changed to husband name and submit to the school.

Yes, approach the Authority whom has issued this birth certificate and move an application for correcting the mother's name in this certificate. Attach a copy of your wife's adhar/passport with this application.

If they do not do the needful despite your application, send them a legal notice.

In case even the legal notice fails to be of any help, approach the High Court and file a writ of mandamus.

Dear Sir,

I am a lawyer by profession, and have followed the below given procedure for changing my own name. Let me use my experience to help you to change your own name.

Follow the below given steps for changing your own name.

Step 1 – Affidavit

Go to you local Notary and make an affidavit regarding change of your name. You have to mention therein your specific reason for changing your name. For example, you may like to change your name after marriage (especially for women), due to astrological or numerological reasons or anything. Recently, one of my friends was going to start his own company who was locally famous in his nickname, and thus he changed his name from Rishabh Agarwal to Saurav Agarwal.

Note: Here is your sample name change affidavit for reference.

Tips: Make a few copies of your affidavit, and preserve the original one carefully. It’s better to scan it, and preserve its electronic copy on your external hard disk as well as on multiple computers.

This affidavit can be used for changing your first or last name and also using the same, you can completely change your name (both first and last name, for example from Rishabh Agarwal to Saurav Verma).

Step 2 – Newspaper Publication

I, Sri ___________________ (old name) have changed my name from __________________ (old name) to ______________ (new name) by affidavit sworn before the Notary Public, ______________ (place) on ___________ (date). Henceforth, I shall be known as _________________ (New Name) for all purposes. ______________ (Name) and _______________ (Complete postal address).

Full Signature

Fill in the blanks with appropriate details and publish it in your local newspaper.

Tips:

You can choose any 2 local newspapers for publishing it. (No need for FrontPage coverage). Although you need only once copy but its better to get ten copies of that newspaper in which your statement is published and preserve it carefully, because it’s now a lifetime issue. It’s better to preserve both the hard and scanned copies of the newspaper.

Step 3 – Gazette Notification

Now for getting your name published in the Official Gazette of your state, for example: “The Delhi Gazette”, you need to do the following things:

1. Visit your local Government Press or the department that mobilizes Gazette notification.

2. Get 2 copies of “Deed Changing Surname Form”. (Fill this form carefully as per the instructions provided therein)

3. If possible get the phone number, or the mobile number of the person of that department who can help you for Gazette Notification.

Verification

You need to send the following documents to the Secretary, Department of Commerce & Transport (Commerce), _________________ (State).

1. Letter to the Secretary, requesting him to allow you to change your name. (Click here to view sample letter)

2. The “Deed Changing Surname Form”

3. 2 True copies of the newspapers in which your name change statement is published.

4. Attested copy of the Name Change Affidavit.

5. A print out of the statement in plain paper that you need to publish in your official Gazette. (Generally Same as your Newspaper Statement)

6. A Copy of your current identity like your Voter Identity Card, PAN Card, Birth Certificate, School or College Certificates and etc.

You may have to adopt the change of name procedures to get this rectified.

You can prepare a notarised affidavit, get the same published in a local newspaper, after that submit an applications stating that both the names are one and the same hence to continue with her old name itself rather than the name after marriage.
