Aadhar Details Birth Certificate

Good evening, 

Congratulations on your new born daughter! 

Birth certificates are important to record the birth of any new born, since the time of implementation of Registration of Births and Deaths Act. The child's name in the certificate can be as you have named the child, but if there was any error, you can always get it corrected, since a birth certificate provides citizenship to the child. You will just need a few documents, and a valid reason to edit the birth certificate. 

You will need: 

• Birth certificate update/ correction form, that you can avail from your gram Panchayat or municipal corporation wherever your child was born.
• An affidavit from a notary officer, stating the name in the certificate, and the name you want to change it to, with a brief explanation of your reason. (In a non judicial stamp paper)
• Fill up the correction form and then submit it to your respective District Court before a Magistrate along with an affidavit or certified copy with the judge’s original signature.
• Ad Publication: An announcement should be published in two newspapers -- one in the local official language and the other in English.
• Gazette Notification: Get your name published in the Official Gazette of the respective state. For that, you can approach the Government Press of your respective state. Fill up the form for the same and pay the required fees. The state’s Official Gazette will publish your name change notification. They will send you the copies of the same at the address you have given.

The same for your wife's documents. It won't be causing many issues if it was done correctly. 

As for Aadhar details, in order to change your address, you can always do it online, in the Self Service Update Portal (SSUP). But to change other details, such as name, fingerprints number, gender and so ,you will have to visit the Aadhar Kendra, or Permanent Enrolment Services. Please make sure to take other identification cards such as your voter's ID, or Pan Card, just in case they ask for it. 

You can change it to what you think is the correct way of name. There must exist other documents with the same name as well, or else there will be an identification problem. Make sure to keep a consistent name throughout all identification cards and documents to avoid issues.

Hope this helps!

Regards,

Nandini.

Absolutely no problem for the present.   It is left to her later after her minority if she wishes to change such name. The same holds good in your wife's name also as AADHAR is not the ultimate ID and can be corrected on qualification, birth certificate etc.

There is no naming Act in our country. Any citizen has the absolute authority/liberty to have have a name or surname of his/her choice; it is also necessary that a person ought to have a surname. Parents can select name for their child; but husband has no authority to change or decide his wife's surname - it is her personal choice that matters.

No dispute / problem / issue is involved in the post for consideration and obligation.
