Name Change In CBSE Affiliated School | Vkeel - Free Legal Advice

DELHI

Till February 2015 CBSE schools were accepting the direct applications for change of name in CBSE certificates, but now it has stopped this practice. When I approached CBSE. New Delhi office personally for submitting the application with required documents, CBSE office has refused to accept any application and advised verbally, to come through court. To make this change in school CBSE personally, I was informed to come through court. CBSE has issued officer order No.CBSE/CP/PS/2015 dated 16th Feb.2015 changing the rules for name/surname change. The relevant last para is as under: " Section III: Rules regarding the change in Name or Surname of a candidate. Applications regarding changes in names or surnames of candidates may be granted, provided the changes have been admitted by the Court of Law and notified in the Govt. Gazette before the publication of the results of the candidates." According to this Please advise process, cost and time required. Student has just entered in 10 std now.

You are required to file a Suit for Declaration in Civil Court praying for correction of change of name on some substantial ground for change of name. Court after due process after having recorded the Evidence will issue the directions to the CBSE Authorities to correct the change to be make effective in the records and issue a fresh Certificate in that regard. Expenses cannot be predicted as it varies person to person. Every Court has its own style of working and takes its own time accordingly.
