The Government have issued instructions to liberalise the procedure of correction of name in Birth Certificates. It is reported that hundreds of complaints received regarding correction in the Birth Certificate. So Government have issued circular about the procedures to be followed:
1. If parents have entered wrong name in the birth certificates (like pet names etc., spelling mistakes etc), the name can be corrected as per the name entered in the Admission Register of the concerned school. For this the parents (Joint affidavit by Father and Mother) (in case of minors)/person have to submit an affidavit stating the reasons why the wrong name entered in the Birth Register and to remit Rs.50/- as compounding fee. The name is only corrected as same in the SCHOOL CERTIFICATE and not as entered in any other documents (like PASSPORT, DRIVING LICENCE ETC). To get a copy of the circular please click here.
Like wise you can expand the initials of your name also. The procedure is same. To get a copy of the circular please click here.
For correcting the Birth Certificate you should approach the Local Birth Registrar of the concerned Local Self Government Institutions i.e. Secretaries of Grama Panchayats and Registrars of Municipalities and Corporations with the affidavit, the original birth certificate issued earlier and affidavit. You have to remit Rs.50/- as compounding fee. After correction you have to apply for a new certificate.

HI ,
ReplyDeleteIn my younger sons BC my name is Manjusha Gireesh but in my elder sons birth certificate my name is miss spelled as Majnusha Ravindran as against my current name Manjusha Gireesh. My SSLC book name is Manjusha R now what should be done to get my name corrected as Manjusha Gireesh. I went to the local body(registrar) with all the essential docs like notary, sakshya patram from two gazetted officers, correction application from hospital, one and the same from panchayath officer, marriage certifiacte etc. but the registrar denies to correct it to my current name but only to my SSLC book name ....who can i approach for help...??? PLs reply ASAP.
no one's name will automatically be changed to another one. if a person wants to change his/her name he must publish it in the Govt Gazette. but in some areas wives change their name without any legal procedures.it is against law but commonly followed.
Deletein birth registration mothers name will be corrected as per her own school register.
but now new circular is in force from 7.2.2015 which allows the correction that u desires.

DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThere are simply 3 ways to record/correct a name in the birth register
ReplyDeleteA) As per rules, the name can be included in the register only once.
B) This name can be corrected only once before school admission.
C) if another name is included in school record it can be corrected as per school record.
Name of the baby can be corrected only one time before school admission.
the following documents are required to be submitted for this purpose
1. combined application of the parents
2.Affidavit reg. reason for name change
3.proof of new name, if any
if the authorities are unaware of the procedure (in most cases its true)
let them have a quick look at Circular No. B1-4356/2016 dated 7.2.2015, paragraph 8.6

ReplyDeleteSir,
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has completed +2 this year from CBSE. We want to change her name as per numerology. Her name as per school records is Lakshmi Priya Sreelatha Pramod. As per her birth certificate, name is Lakshmi Priya S.P. We would like it to change it to Lakshmi Priya Nair. Can anyone help me and tell me the procedure? Different people are giving different suggestions.----Pramod Kumar
1) You can change the name in BC as Lakshmi Priya Sreelatha Pramod (as entered school record)
Delete2)add alias name, Lakshmi Priya Nair. by producing one and same certificate and any other document proving the name Lakshmi Priya Nair.
ie- Lakshmi Priya Sreelatha Pramod @ Lakshmi Priya Nair
or Lakshmi Priya S.P. @ Lakshmi Priya Nair
3)Change the name by Gazette notification and show it as and when required
(name in BC will not be corrected on the basis of Gazette notification)
no rule allows any one to correct the name as per stupid numerology
Can you please tell me how to obtain "Non Availability of Birth Certificate". I was living in a Panchayth during my birth and later we have shifted to another Panchayth (Same District, Same Taluk). Please any one knows where to apply, how to apply and what are documents and procedures. Thank you Sreekumar for your great help.
ReplyDeleteNAC will be issued from the local body, where the birth event is really occurred.
Deleteif the birth registration has already done, NAC will not be issued from LB.

ReplyDeleteI wish to change my name from BC to u.city certificate. It's spelled properly in everywhere. Don't want to change the entire name, just the initials. It's now in the form of PRAVEEN Y.Y and i want to change it to PRAVEEN YYYYYYY (would like to omit the initials n use my father's name instead of that). Is there any possibilities to do this?
Gone through the entire available details, but none says it's possible to change name in BC unless i present the old one with a court order and gazette notification.
