This query is : Resolved
Hello sir,there is a spelling mistake of my surname in my 10th class certificate.My correct surname is 'THEEGALA',but in birth certificate it is written as 'TEGELA' and the same continued to all my education.At the time of 10th std,we have no idea that it would create problem for me for the issue of my passport.In all the other proofs(driving license,aadhar card..) my surname is printed as THEEGALA but in my educational certificates(10th,inter,b.tech)is printed as TEGELA.Now it created a problem for me to apply for a passport.I have taken affidivit also saying that both surnames belong to me ,but the passport officers are not accepting that affidivit.I'm in a confusion of what to do and how to do.I completed 10th std in the year 2006.So please guide me to resolve this issue.Thanks in advance.

what were you doing for 6 years? based on your brrith certifcate you have got your 10th class school leaving certifcate . unless your birth certifcate is corrected school leaving wont be corrected . make an application before the Chief Judicial Magistrate under Birth and Death Registration Act for direction to issue a new certificate.

i have already given my birth certificate for the name change and it is in process.Is change of my surname in 10th certificate is the only way or do we have any other way to get passport?
