Respected Sir/Ma'am
Kindly help me out to resolve the queries:-

Honourable sir/Ma'am, In all my documents ( 10th, 12th Grad. Post grad. ,Adhaar Etc) my father's name spelling is SHAUKEEN but in his Adhaar and in his other documents bear SHOKEEN, (his correct spelling) Sooner, I have to appear for Documents Verification for the central Government job:-
Q1) Will it create problem to me?
Q2) What is the way out ? Kindly help out!
Some selected candidates advised me not to reveal your father's correct spelling to them Because they won't crosscheck father's spelling from father's Adhaar.
But I doubt this, Because If they come to know this later, they may cancel the candidature on the charge of hiding the true information.
Q3) kindly exlress your opinion on the above?
Q4) If I get correction published in Gazette, will I have to correct all my documents? Or Gazette publication itself is enough and no further changes required in all my documents?

I will be highly obliged to you all respected ,kindly help.
Thanks and Regards

A.Dear Client,
Inconsistent spellings in your father's name across various documents may potentially pose challenges during central government job document verification. It is recommended to rectify this discrepancy to avoid any complications in the future. The correction process usually involves updating the name in the relevant documents, and obtaining a Gazette publication alone may not be sufficient. To address this, consider initiating corrections in your father's documents first, such as Aadhaar, and then proceed with updating the same in your educational and other records. Transparency is crucial during document verification, and attempting to conceal the correct information may lead to complications later. Consult with legal or administrative experts to guide you through the correction process and ensure that your records align accurately.
Thankyou

A.Dear Client,
To resolve the issue related to the correction of the anomaly in the spelling of the name of your father, you need to pursue the following steps. 1) An affidavit is a legal document that is used to state facts under oath. The affidavit should include the applicant's current name/surname, the desired name/surname, the reason for the change of surname, and any other relevant details declaring that the "A s/o B " and the "A s/o C" are the same and one identical person. The affidavit should be made on a stamp paper of the appropriate value as per the state where the applicant resides and should be sworn preferably before the 1st class Judicial Magistrate or Executive Magistrate. 2) The next step in the name/surname change process is to publish a notification in the Gazette of India. The Gazette of India is a publication of the Government of India that contains official government notifications, including name/surname change notifications. The notification should be in the prescribed format and published in at least two local newspapers. 3) After publishing the notification in the Gazette of India, the next step is to make out a name/surname change deed. The said deed is a legal document that confirms the name/surname change and includes the details of the old and new name/surname. The deed should be made on a stamp paper of the appropriate value as per the state where the applicant resides and should be signed by two witnesses and notarized by a Notary Public. 5) The final step is to submit the name/surname change deed to the relevant authorities for information and records. The applicant may also need to provide additional documents, such as a copy of the Gazette notification and a copy of the affidavit for updating the records wherever and whenever required. It is essential to follow the correct procedure to ensure that the name/surname change is recognized by the concerned Authority.
