• Name re-arrangement/correction

Most documents ( passport, aadhar, PAN ) have my name as "Honnavalli Pradeep Pranaav".This causes a lot of confusion with first name and last name. I wish to re-apply for these documents with the name "Pranaav Pradeep Honnavalli". There is no change in the letters in the name but only the order is changing. I am born in Bangalore but I reside in Goa. All documents are based of Goa except my birth certificate. I have already amended my birth certificate once.

Well.  First you will have to affirm an affidavit before the first class Magistrate on new name and then make a newspaper or Gazette publication. 

On this basis you will have to apply for correction of name before the public authorities. 

All the public authorities though are not bound to correct the names in their records.

You cannot amend the documents as per your wish as and when you want to change your name.

The procedure to follow is  to  apply for change of name as per procedure.

Prepare a notarised affidavit, get it published in a local newspaper and get the change of name published in the government gazette publication.

The name change from so and so to so and so to be clearly mentioned in the affidavit so tht there is no ambiguity in future in this regard.

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that you wish to get the sequence of the name changed.
  2. I would like to apprise you that yes you can do that but there are many ways to get that done.
  3. You can execute an affidavit stating the change in name sequence and then publish an article in one local and one national newspaper and then use the same name subsequently.
  4. As now it can’t be done to make any changes in any education document as the limitation period from the same has now been gone.
