Myself, Akash Roy and my wife Sonali Bose were married in July, 2008 and the registration was held on 20th September,2009. The certificate was issued under section 16 of Act XLIII of 1954 (special marriage act, as far as I understand.) My first question is this: Although my wife and I signed in the document the officer retained, in the certificate he issued, he himself wrote Sd/-... (my name), Sd/-... (name of my wife) etc in the places where our signatures were indicated. (i.e., we did not actually sign in the true copy of the certificate given to us)Will it create any problem in future?
Second, name of my wife in the certificate appears as: Sonali Bose(Roy). Recently I have wrtten this name as name of nominee in some investments and the companies have in their documents written this name as Sonali Bose Roy. Are these names identical legally? If not then what should we do? Should my wife file an affidavit stating that Sonali Bose (Roy), Sonali Bose Roy and Sonali Bose are same person? In this case will it be necessary to submit copy of affidavit to her employee, to bank etc?
Third: In case an affidavit solves the problem, is it necessary to mention her current address in affidavit? We are currently living in a rented house and her address in voter identity card, PAN card etc have not been modified so far. Should that be done before filing affidavit?
Thanks for your advices.

Make an affidavit incorporating all these details.it will serve all purposes.
