Will Name Mismatch on Aadhar and Class 10 Marksheet Cause Problems?

Ans: Hi Kamal,
Greetings!
Yes.
I want to address an important aspect of the admission process. It is crucial to ensure that the candidate's name is consistent across all documents to avoid unnecessary confusion during admission.

As you noted, there are no issues with the birth certificate and the SSLC/10th mark sheet, as both documents display the same name. However, I understand that the Aadhaar card includes the father's name, which differs from the other two records. It would be advisable to update the Aadhaar card to reflect the correct name. This adjustment will help prevent complications in the future.

I would like to share my own experience on this matter. In my case, while my name and initial are consistent across all records, there was a discrepancy where my initial appeared before the name in one document and after the name in another. This inconsistency was not accepted by the government agency. Consequently, I had to apply for a name change to align all records.

Based on my experience, I suggest you apply for a name change on the Aadhaar card, as you already have supporting documents like the birth certificate and 10th class mark sheet. If you feel that you need further assistance, please consider consulting a notary public nearby.

Lastly, please don’t delay this process, as it could hinder your registration on the NTA website.

with regards.
