Dear Client,

Next, to resolve the issue related to the correction of your mother's name in the share certificates, you may 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 and the desired name, the reason for the correction of name/surname, and any other relevant details declaring that the "A d/o B " and the "C d/o B" 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 change process is to publish a notification in the Gazette of India or the relevant State.
