Hello,

Since you have issued a gazette notification for a spelling correction in your surname, it is considered a name change as per official records. So, while registering for SSC , you should select "Yes" for the question "Have you ever changed your name?"

Hope it helps !

Since you have issued a Gazette notification for a minor spelling correction in your surname, it technically counts as a name change, even if it’s just a correction. While filling out the SSC one-time registration, if the question asks, “Have you ever changed your name?", it is advisable to select "Yes" to avoid any discrepancies in the future. You may need to provide supporting documents, such as the Gazette notification and your corrected certificates. Selecting "No" might create issues during document verification. Always ensure consistency in official records to prevent complications in government job applications.
