Dear Sir/Madam,
I would to change my wife's name in her engineering marks sheet to post marital name. When we contacted the university we were asked to produce a decree from court for this purpose. We talked to an advocate nearby and he said that there cannot be any decree issued for name change(in fact he said decree is irrelevant for name change). I browsed over internet and some blogs say there needs to be a decree and now I am confused. Could you please suggest me how can I get the decree? Do I need to get written request from university seeking decree? If so, how can I get this request letter - do I need to draft a request letter from the advocate? Is there a specific format/name for such a advocate request letter?
