Surname change

simply notary affidavit is not enough. You have to apply in the gazette department for obtaining correction of name certificate.

Better get an affidavit drafted stating that the names appear in the different educational certificates pertaining to you  are one and the same, get the affidavit notarized and get it published in the Government Gazette of your state, keep a copy of both, the affidavit and the gazette publication in your possession always along with the related educations certificates. This will enable you to clarify the issues that may rise in this regard in the future.

thank you sir for helping.........

Dear sir i am soma. srinivas. i completed ssc in 1998. in ssc certificate my surname printed as sooma and all other certificate it printed as soma. Can u please guide me how to correct the name in SSC certificate. or best solution to change my surname either sooma or soma

@Srinivasulu:  Due to the difference in surname, it is not advisable to go for a change or correction in the SSC certificate, instead better go for a change through affidavit as advised above, that will also solve your issue.
