This query is : Resolved
I am from Chennai. In my daughter's tenth standard school leaving certificate the initial( i e my name) is missing. Now she is applying for the 12th Board Exam from a different school. The school is refusing to include the initial saying that it is not in the tenth certificate. I want to officially include it in the gazette. What is the procedure, time taken and is it essential that I take the services of an advocate? Grateful to get clarification. Thanks.

For inclusion of your daughter's surname both of you have to go to the Court{exicutive or 1st class magistrate within the jurisdiction of the place} and file an affidavit through a lawyer.Afterwards you have to publish this change in at least two local newspapers.After it the relevent State Govt.will publish your name change in its official gazette.You must keep the copy of this gazette as the authentic evidence of the name change.
