In the first place apply for change of name/surname. It depends on her whether she wants to continue her father's surname or completely change it to your.

In case you wish to change name, that also includes father's/mother's name (!!) or even Surname you have to follow a very simple procedure.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.Go to the State Government Press in the Capital City of your state.
2.Ask them for the form for change of name and obtain it.
3.Fill up the form and submit it (preferably then and there).
4.Pay the requisite Fees in cash.
5.The Press would publish the details of the change in name (or father's/mother's name, or surname as be your case) and post you two copies of the Government Gazette or ask you to collect the same. The press would also let you know when they would publish the same.

6.Thereafter wherever you wish to submit the change of Name / Father's/mother's Name / Surname Proof, you can submit true copies of the relevant pages of the Gazette.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once this process is complete you need to apply where ever you wish to carry out the correction.
