Hi
I m using my maiden surname after marriage. In fact in all my ID proofs viz. Voter Id, PAN, Aadhaar and Passport my maiden surname is there. In the marriage certificate my maiden surname is there also. The problem is in the Birth Information of my baby(age 11yrs) issued by the Nursing Home the mother's surname is given as the surname after my marriage which I don't use anywhere. As a result in the Birth Certificate of my baby issued by the Municipality the Mother's surname is the same (after marriage) as that in the Birth Information.
As per the local Municipality once the Birth Information issued by the Nursing home gets changed they would be able to change the Birth Certificate. I have already applied to the Nursing Home authority for the change of the Mother's surname in the Birth Information along with all the necessary documents including ID proof of myself and an Affidavit. But they refused to do the same stating that they have destroyed the records as it is beyond 10 yrs and as per MCI regulations Nursing home authority is supposed to keep the records only for 6 yrs. Even they are not willing to give any written document in this regard.
Under these circumstances I am at a loss what to do next for the change of my surname in the Birth Certificate of my baby.
Please help...
