Namaste! I’m currently pursuing my S.Y.B.A. through the Open University, BAOU. I only have my 10th standard certificate. I want to change my name and would like to know if I can get my 10th certificate and marksheet updated with the new name after the change is completed. Also, can I use the new name on other documents? What’s the process and is it possible? Kindly guide me on this. 🙏

Yes, you can change your name legally through a gazette notification and use the new name on all documents, including educational certificates. After the name change is complete, you can approach the Board of Secondary Education (BSE) to update your 10th certificate and marksheet with the new name. The process involves submitting an application along with supporting documents, including the gazette notification.
