I am divorced and have sole custody of my two daughters. I have remarried and put my new husband's name in the father's name column in all school records. Will there be any problem in future when the birth certificate and school certificates dont match regarding father's name? Is there any way to rectify matters? My daughter is finishing 10th this year so I am very anxious.
Thanks
In case you wish to change your name, that also includes your 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. (Rs. 120/- in Maharashtra for routine (6-8 weeks for publication) and Rs. 620/- for urgent (2-3 weeks)). |
5. |
The Press would publish the details of the change of your 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 your change of Name / Father's/mother's Name / Surname Proof, you can submit true copies of the relevant pages of the Gazette. |
The procedure is adopted for the change in the date of birth and age and even for a change of religion.
Sir,
Thanks for your fast reply. Just one doubt: My daughters are minor, so can they initiate this procedure to change their father's name or should I do it as their legal guardian?
Thanks
Sir,
I checked in the online website of my state govt printing press. The form for change of father's name mentions reason as 'due to adoption'. Does my husband have to adopt my daughters to show his name as father's name?
Thanks

Hi midrakshi..

Without the court order name of children father cannot be change coz to get adoption, both parents are required but if the wife has full rights so she can consent for adoption by her new husband but through court permission only.

hello... u need to take prior permission of the court of law, in case of change of date of birth, name, mother/father name and surname, if at all with special reasons for change is furnished. but to change father name in the scholl records, first father name has to be changed then only it is allowed to change in the school records that too with prior permission of the court of law only.
