Hi, I’m Monu Kumar and I’d like to know how to formally change my name on all my important documents like my 10th, 12th and graduation certificates. Can you guide me through the process?

You can change your name on your certificates by applying for a Gazette Notification through the Ministry of Home Affairs. This will involve submitting an affidavit, proof of identity and residence, and a copy of your existing certificates. Once the notification is published, you can use it to get your certificates amended.
