Change in Name of Birth Certificate, father/mother name

	Hi Vishal, As I know, I have obtained a new birth certificate from Municipal council of my state. You have to probably produce some certificates, affidavits, and all the valid identity copies. There was a spelling mistake in my surname and I have done it and got a new birth certificate issued. And i use it everywhere now.  See if you can find out the the clause in the rule book that says you cannot change your birth name if it is wrongly registered during the birth of the child. If you have this proof. you can show the authorities and get your work done without any pain. All the best!

My area it was the Municipal Council office. Your area it could be probably the office of Birth. 

Thanks.

Hi Rishabh,

You have to go to your Birth office in the city where you took birth. They have a form for change of name in the birth certificate. You have to fill this form and pay some small fees of less than Rs. 200/- i guessss. not  sure though. And probably you have to provide your PAN card details or ration card. take everything with you. Give them whichever document they require.

I guess you might have to do an affidavite indicating your correct name. Contact the office, they will guide you.

Thanks. Good luck.

I'm in Hyd. After marriage my wife has kept her maiden surname. When we have a baby , then on her birth certificate my wife's surname is mentioned as mine.

On my passport my wife's name is mentioned with her maiden surname.

Now, If I have to apply for a passport for the baby - Do I need to change the surname of my wife to her maiden surname in the birth certificate?

What are the other options?

 

Thanks

Sir,

At the time of filling my daughter's application for final examination in CBSE class X examination the candidate's name was given as Taniya Paul,  father's name as Tapash Paul. She passed  and now reading in class XI. But in my all official records (central government service) my name is recorded   as Tapas Chandra Pal.  Now do I need to change the name in my daughter's certificate? If so, how?  Is father's name affect her future study?

Kindly suggest.

Determine the requirements: Contact the vital records office or the agency responsible for birth certificates in your region to understand the specific requirements and procedures for changing names on a birth certificate.

Gather necessary documents: Typically, you'll need documents such as a petition or application form, your current birth certificate, proof of identification, and any supporting documents for the requested changes (e.g., marriage certificate, court order).

Fill out the application: Complete the application or petition form accurately and provide all requested information. Ensure you follow the guidelines and provide any additional documents as required.

Provide supporting evidence: If you're changing the father or mother's name, you might need to provide proof such as a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or paternity order to establish the legal basis for the change.

Submit the application: Once you've filled out the application and gathered the necessary documents, submit them to the appropriate authority along with any required fees. Be sure to follow their instructions regarding submission methods (mail, in-person, online).

Follow up and be patient: The process of changing a birth certificate can take time. Follow up with the authority to ensure your application is progressing as expected. Be patient and prepared for potential delays.

Obtain updated birth certificate: Once the changes have been approved and processed, you'll receive an updated birth certificate reflecting the requested name changes. Keep this new certificate in a safe place.

If you are NRI's & need a birth certificate. Then go online with NRIWAY and get your birth certificate required for green card.
