As a lawyer, I’m following in my father’s footsteps. But my middle name is his first name, and it’s not on my IDs. Can I still use it on my vakalatnama?

While using your father’s name as your middle name is common practice, it’s crucial to ensure your legal documents reflect your official name as per your identity proofs. You should use your legally registered name on your vakalatnama, even if it doesn’t include your father’s name.
