You can make necessary affidavit to its effect stating both names are same. Changing birth certificate records is not easy and can only be allowed for incorrect recording of names
Mother's name mistake
My mother's name is Raakhi Sinha. While her name in my document is Rakhi Sinha. I got a late registration of my birth, and there also written Rakhi sinha as my marksheet was used as reference. Now i have a consistent spelling mistake of my mother in my all documents. I have applied for Upsc based on my certificate.Will it create problem in future? Changing name in each certificate is tedious. Any possible alternatives, to make it right. If i initiate a change birth certificate , how will i proceed as i have no document stating right name of my mother. Can it pose future problem in processes like insurance, NRC etc.

You should not face problems as there is minor typographical error in your mother name
No no need to change name in your educational certificates
you can execute affidavit that both are one and same name
Dear Querist
file an application before the Registrar (of birth and death) certificate and get new/Duplicate/Corrected date of birth certificate.
in case, in other documents you want to change the name of your mother then it is depend on the documents in which you want to change and you may contact the concerned authority for the same.
it may create problem in your selection and at that time it will be very difficult for you to do the correction, so it will be better to change the same.
or published a notification in the official Gazette of the Govt. that the name of your mother as Raakhi Sinha is the same person whose name's spelling is Rakhi Sinha.

Sir i passed matriculation in 2008 , it's difficult to change now in those records as cbse doesn't allow such changes. I have not made passport till now. I have given the information in upsc as per my certificate, does that it mean that i have given wrong information. If so i will give them affidavit at the time of document verification that the original name i Raakhi Sinha and not Rakhi Sinha as recorded in my certificate. Please guide me, from now on what should i do whether carry the name or something else. This discrepancy was detected recently. Main issue was that if any issue of lineage comes then i may have problem.Also what should i give in passport
Asked 4 years ago
It is minor typographical error
2) you don’t need to change name in your educational certificates
3) in passport mention name as reflected in your birth certificate, school leaving certificate
Your mother can make a same name affidavit and both the names can be reflected in the affidavit you can use the same affidavit there shall be no issue.
See if you have given information as per your documents then there won't be any issue. Affidavit is also not required in verification you can just keep.it for the record.
Only wrong names can be rectified by the said authorities. For any other rectification affidavit will suffice. You can try gazette notification if you want
Ajay Sethi Sir- If i continue with the name , will the affidavit will do if there is a need to prove lineage.For ex- NRC or insurance or any other reasons i future. Shubham Jharjharia Sir- I have given as per my certificate. So i was in confusion ,whether i was right or i was giving wrong information. I will have a document verification before interview. As i have given the same name as certificate it won' t be any issue of mismatch. But will it affect in future. If i do a gazette notification for any fail safe situation , will it suffice?. And after that i will continue using the name as per certificate. One other solution that i was thinking, as birth certificate is not used everywhere, if i somehow get the name corrected in birth certificate, with the help of an Lawyer, and keep it as a proof to prove lineage. And after that continue with the name Rakhi Sinha as given in my Matriculation. Although i would have a different name on birth certificate but can be used as document proof for lineage.

See gazettee notification is not required just a Affidavit will do just take such affidavit from mother and keep same for record. There won't be any problem due to same in future.
affidavit should suffice that both are one and same person
2) you can take the plea that it was a typographical error . it is minor mistake
AA and A is minute error and shall be justify by affidavit. And if you want full proof solution than apply to collector office for notification that rAAkhi and raAkhi is d/o of Mr. C , mother of X and wife of Y is one and same person.
The birth certificate corrections are very difficult and need courts interference that too can be done during incorrect recording
To Summarize things Name of my mother- Raakhi Sinha Name of my mother in my all document including birth certificate-Rakhi Sinha i have given my mother's name as Rakhi Sinha in my UPSC application. So i won't have problem since it matches my certificate, but if need arise in future to prove my relation i can use an affidavit given by my mother as suggested by all. My specific queries please address it individually 1.As you know the government is planning for an all india NRC, will at that time this affidavit given by my mother will suffice? Although i have my father's data correct. 2.I am applying for passport , i will use Rakhi Sinha as given in my all certificates. So that my all documents will have uniform name of my mother as Rakhi Sinha. 3. My mother has LIC policy , if there a need arise in future will this affidavit work? Prashant Nayak Sir what is incorrect recording of name? If there is anything else that i need to know, please give your valuable inputs. This will be my last question. It was a good experience with Kanoon, but a little bit costly. Please address my above concerns. Regards.

Incorrect recording is spelling mistake or different name in the mother name column
1. Yes there won't be any issue due to this spelling difference.
2. Yes that would be correct thing to do.
3. Yes it would suffice for LIC claim and also in her lic documents your name is recorded correctly so there won't be any issue
1) affidavit by mother would suffice
2) affidavit would work for LIC policy
3) use same name in passport as reflected in your documents
No complication to citizenship due to spelling mistake.
Better apply for gazette notification, valid for ever. NO cost involve.
The option you have now is to make a name declaration affidavit of your mother mentioning all her documents along with names mentioned on them.
And Name you want to mention in future documents on basis of that affidavit you can apply for change of name in all the documents on which name can be changed.
The minor spelling mistake of your mother's name may not be considered as a big issue.
By the way why do you have to write your mother's name in the UPSC examination application form?
If you are so particular about this spelling in the name, then you may have to obtain an affidavit stating that both the names are one and the same and your mother is known by both the names, which will suffice the issue but make sure that you use only one name at all places in future.
Name of mother in the birth certificate cannot be changed for any reason now.
You can get the name changed through the government gazette publication which will be more than sufficient and it is the only authentic proof for the change of name.
1. Your imaginations are too far which may not become true, it is not possible for national leva]el NRC.
Your mother's name can be changed or authentified by this affidavit also.
2. Your problems will be solved once you get the passport without any legal hassle with the name of your mother given in the certificates other than the birth certificate.
Sir As you all know the case of my mother's name problem. I have a legal query. My mother's original name- Raakhi Sinha Her name in my document- Rakhi Sinha I got a late registration of my birth in 2011.My matriculation certificate was used as reference. So even in bc her name is written Rakhi Sinha. My query is-With the issuance of bc i actually perfected my mother's wrong name. Now if i want to correct the name, what are the possibilities and how much time consuming will it be.I know changing in bc will be difficult but what about 10th and 12th marksheet. List of documents in which mother's name appear is bc 10th 12th and passport. I have not made a passport yet. If i go through hc writ, i might have a problem to prove my case as my bc is also having Rakhi Sinha. But i have a 9th cbse registartion certificate stating right name of my mother. Dose my case stand any chance, if i go through a legal way. Or i should just carry on with Rakhi sinha and keep an affidavit given by my mother as suggested by you all. T Kalaiselvan sir , it is required to mention mother's name in the application. If i donot qualify this year , i will have to apply next year. I don't want wrong name of my mother to enter into service records. Is their any alternative? Also they ask for only 10th marksheet at the time of document verification. If i give my mother name as Raakhi Sinha next time, i will just have to give an affidavit that the document bears the wrong name and the correct name is Raakhi sinha and not Rakhi Sinha. I guess i have made the case clear to you all. Also since passport is not made till yet, so i still have a document bearing my mother's name not made. Suggestion are invited. Birth certificate is not used in India , so i can bear with a wrong name of my mother in bc, but others are important. Is this effort worth it or i maintain the status quo as suggested by you all earlier.
Asked 4 years ago
Affidavit and newspaper publication will suffice in your case
it Is minor typographical error
2) filing writ in HC is an expensive proposition
3) you should maintain status quo no need to change name in educational certificates
See as far as marksheet are concerned you can file for rectification of same in fix time period only after that it cannot be rectified .
Depending upon board to board you can file an application for correction ans rectification of marksheet and if they deny then you can file writ before high court.
Though see all your documents have same name so going into issues of change is not advisable the affidavit shall help you in case of discrepancy otherwise you have same name in all the documents.
Dear Sir,
Yes, It can be corrected. Just contact your Birth Registration office and they will tell you about the whole process.
Usually after correction your mother's correct name will be written in alias along with the wrong name.
It can be a as simple as providing an affidavit sworn in your mother's name or else you will have to file a name correction file which can be very hectic process. Anyway be ready to find some contacts in the concerned department. Good luck.
9th class certificate not relevant.
Neither name will change in otehr certificates. Just get notification that your mother actual name spelling is Rakhi sinha which wrongly entered in your certificates as Raakhi sinha due mistake in your birth certificate.
My mother's original name- Raakhi Sinha .Her name in my document- Rakhi Sinha I got a late registration of my birth in 2011.My matriculation certificate was used as reference. So even in birth certificate her name is written as Rakhi Sinha. The difference was sighted recently. I have applied in UPSC with the name Rakhi Sinha. Sir i have a chance now, that i can mail UPSC and get corrected my mother's name as Raakhi Sinha instead of Rakhi Sinha given in my application. Will that be advisable.? Please address following queries 1.If i carry on the name Rakhi Sinha even in my service records, can any legal action be taken against me for producing wrong name of my mother in future. 2. Is it better to have right name on few of the documents or having wrong name in all of the documents.? As changing in bc and marksheet is not possible at this stage. As many of you early have advised me to carry on with the name. Please advice me, because i am in early stage of my career, and any change from now on will be difficult. I am curious because it's government service.It would not have mattered in private job.

Since you are appearing to be confused about the next step to be taken in this regard as well as which name is to be used, you may please prepare an affidavit stating that both the names are pertaining to one and the same person.
The affidavit duly notarised is a very much legal document after which you will not find any problem in using the name what you have been using it in all the documents so far.
Changing the name of your mother in the birth certificate or in the 10rth and 12th marks sheet is not possible at this stage.
No writ petition may be entertained by high court in this regard, hence you may adopt the procedure as suggested here.
1. No, especially when you have an affidavit sworn by your mother in this regard as suggested , duly notarised.
2. You do not have to so curious or anxious or cautious on this petty matter.
Your mother's name is not important.
There won't be much importance attached to your mother's name, moreover you are going to enclose the documents which hav your mother's name as is mentioned by you in the application, hence just do not be so much frustrated over this petty issue.
1. An attestation by a notary public will be sufficient for this affidavit.
2. You can keep the same for your father too, but what is the requirement for your father in this connection.
3. Not necessary.
4. It can be notarised by a notary public which will be sufficient.
5. Both the parents name have to be entered in the passport.
6. You can just go by the suggested affidavit which will be more than sufficient.
7. No, this correction may not be entertained by the competent authority.
Even if you come out with a different name in future, the solution to this problem is as suggested in plenty of posts earlier in the same thread.

Please provide me a rough format, as i am having difficulty finding a lawyer drafting affidavit in english as most of the work is done in Hindi. 4. Should i make affidavit after issuance of passport, so that i can mention passport in the list of documents carrying the name Tripte Sinha in affidavit? 5. What documents to attach with affidavit, ie list of mother's documents stating her right name?As i have no document with her right name 6.After affidavit , should i give newspaper add, or a notification in gazette. 7.Should the affidavit must state that Tripte Sinha will be used for all future purposes? 8.Is the photocopy of affidavit sufficient or i have to to give original affidavit every time there is a need.
