Dear student,

Yes it can cause you alot of problems as you full names is an identity of you as a whole person on that marksheet. Otherwise it won't be considered as yours since the data is missing. So please correct your certificate as quick as possible. KEEP all your documents with all the correct and necessary  information.

The class 10th and 12th marksheets are really important for various academic ducumentations in further studies. So, it is really important you get you surname added to you 10th results as soon as possible. Because there are chances you might have trouble in future.
10th board marksheets are mainly used for age verification but sometimes 10th and 12th marksheets are needed for name verification also.
Steps for name change in educational certificates-
  • Seek the help of a local notary to make an affidavit for name change
  • publish the change of name in at least two local newspaper
  • get it notified in the official gazette of the state you reside in
  • Now comes the part where your documents will be verified by the Department of Commerce and Transport secretary . For this, you will need to send-
  • 1. A letter to the secretary stating that you want t ochange your name and request him/her to allow you to do that.
  • 2. The deed changing name form.
  • 3. At least 2 copies of local newspaper, which published your name.
  • 4. Attested copy of the affidavit.
  • 5. A copy of your present identity (PAN card, voter ID card, passport, etc).
    • After receiving approval from the secretary, you will have to submit it to the local gazette office. You will also have to pay a fee for the office to publish it in the newspaper.
