My friend completed their 12th grade through an open school program. Unfortunately, there’s a mistake in their name on the certificate, and it’s been over 15 years. Now, they need to get this corrected legally while applying for a name change. What’s the best way to proceed with fixing the 12th certificate?

Your friend should approach the board that issued the open school certificate and request a correction. They’ll need to provide proof of the actual name and submit a formal application with supporting documents. The board can issue a revised certificate after verifying the details and making the necessary changes.
