Spelling mistake in Surname

Dear Sirs, My name is Jitesh Rathore, But on all my documents since school days the spelling of my surname is misspelled as Rathor. After marriage I did not want to make same mistake with my wife and child. So their surname on all documets is Rathore, and all family member's surname is also correct i.e. Rathore. Now I want to apply for passport for me, wife and child. But when I asked this doubt to passport office about the spelling mistake in my documents, they suggested to 1st change my surname by publishing in Newpaper and thereby in official gazzet. After this change only I can apply for passport of wife and child because the surname should match in all documents of us three. My 1st question is: Is it really not possible to get passport of myself with a different surname (minor spelling error) then my wife and child. 2nd question: If I have to change my surname then what will be the consequences. I mean do I have to change surname in all documents having wrong surname i.e. Educational cirtificates, mark sheets, PAN card, Ration card, electricity bill, telephone bill, bank accounts, company records, PF record, LIC policy, FDs, Vehicle registration, Property documents, etc. It will be a tedious job then. Please help with expert comments.

dear jitesh,

changing the spelling mistake or surname is easy procedure,

you have to file declaration suit in the juridicature court  against the general public after that you have to make publication in official gazette .

nope you dnt have to change the name of yours or spelling change in all documents,there is no need for doing this as per this procedure by publishing you will declare to the genral public that mr.jitesh rathor and jitesh rathore are same persons and jitesh rathor had changed his name to jitesh rathore now and all concerned persons and authorities may notice it for there concern.

Thanks for your reply.

I am happy to know that I don't have to correct spelling mistakes on all documents. I still have some doubts.

 

1. After correction of surname and getting passport, I must not use incorrect surname anywhere, henceforth. Am I right?

2. If not all, what are the mandatory documents that I have to change. example I think PAN card, it must be changed as it is my basic identity. And if i change name in PAN card then I must change the same in my bank accounts, if i change name in bank accounts then have to change in LICs & FDs otherwise cheque can bounce, with same logic I have to change name in Electricily bills, telephone bill, company records (for getting correct form 16) etc. Or is there any way out?

3. The passport office advised me to publish name change in newspaper and then in official gazette. Have I understood them correctly? As you are saying " file declaration suit in the juridicature court  against the general public" (how).

 

Please help to understand matter completely.
