Change of name in my educational certificate

(Querist) 07 October 2016 This query is : Resolved 
I completed my SSLC (Karnataka) in 2011 and my PUC (Karnataka) in 2013 in India.

The name on all my academic records is Rinku kumar srivastav

Now I wana change my name to Ritwik srivastav.. ..., however, my SSLC, PUC and Bachelors Degree Certificates are in the name of Rinku kumar srivastav..

Is there any way to change the name on my SSLC and PUC records?

I approached the authorities who issued my Bachelors Certificates, and they said they could do the same only if the name on my SSLC and PUC records are changed.

What is the procedure to change the name on my SSLC and PUC records.

Plz help me out !!

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. nest give an add in Local Newspaper. then submit to the Revenue/concerned authorities for notification in the State Gazette.

No process for your hypothetical academic query.

By the way, which authorities issued you Bachelors Certificates?

The process is lengthy. The SSLC Board or PUC authorities will not change the name simply unless you publish the notice in the Gazzette. The person attaining the age of 18 yrs. and above who wishes to get his/her
change of name published in the Gazette of India Part-IV has to undergo the required procedure for such publication. Then only you can request the concerned authorities who issued the certificate for making the name change. What is the need to change the name?

Why you want to change your name?

First you should contact the respective Board to know the procedure to change name in certificates. You can take help of RTI to get the procedure.

Generally amendments can be done in 3 years, if they do not agree, you can change your name for future, name on certificates would remain same.

For this get a sworn affidavit, publish in two news papers and also publish in official gazette of the state.

Educational documents will have same name till Board / university changes, which would not change normally.

Each time you apply, you have to show both of your name, with name change process.
