Name change in Birth Certificate

How to change your name online in a Birth Certificate
A name change in India may appear to be a time-consuming process because most of your official documents may have already been issued. However, it is worthwhile at some point in time when you feel the need to change your name or the names of your children. This is because your sense of identity should outweigh the hassle of the process.

Of all the certificates, the Birth Certificate holds significant importance. It has to be mandatorily produced during national level examinations, medical check-ups, school and job transfers and the list may go on as new rules and amendments keep coming in.

Essentially, a Birth Certificate contains the following details:

Name of the person
Mother's name
Father's name
Date of birth
Time of birth
A legally valid birth certificate is one that is issued by the Registrar of Births and Deaths, who is a state-level authority. Anybody in India, above the age of 18 has the right to change their name by following the right legal procedure.
