Child surname change

Dear Sir / Madam

I am the legal guardian for my daughter. I want to change her surname as i am remarried. she is 16yrs.

Is it possible to use a sworn affidavit or Annexure E for college and school purpose without changing in the passport.

If i do a notary public with the help of my advocate will that document be sufficient.

Thank you

WIth out the consent of your former husband you cant change the name of your child . Once the child attains majority that is once she has crossed 18 yrs of age the child can change her name .
