I’ve been with this organization for about 25 years. Back then, my name on official documents matched my SSLC marks card. However, over time, a small spelling change crept into my name, which is now reflected in all my records, like my bank account, Aadhar card, and driving license. The spelling is consistent across all these documents, but it doesn’t match my SSLC marks card anymore. Should I officially change my name to align with these existing records? Will this help resolve the mismatch with my SSLC marks card?

Indian law does not mandate a name change to align with existing documents if the spelling discrepancy is minor and consistent. However, changing your name officially will align all your documents, including your SSLC marks card, and could potentially simplify future transactions. Consulting with a legal professional will provide the best guidance based on your specific situation.
