NEET Application Deadline: Panic as Sister's Aadhaar Name Mismatch - What Now?

Ans: Hi Mayuri,

Is your name the same as it appears on your birth certificate? Your name has been registered according to your birth certificate for the 10th class. Therefore, the birth certificate is the primary document registered with the local municipality or corporation. When you change your name on your Aadhaar card, they will require proof, so please attach your birth certificate when making the change.

Ans: Hi Kamal
Please ensure that the name registered on your daughter's SSLC (10th standard) certificate matches the name on her birth certificate. The birth certificate is a primary document for everyone, whereas an Aadhaar card is not considered fundamental (even to obtain an Aadhaar, proof of date of birth is required).

Additionally, the government plans to implement a "One Nation, One Card" system. In the future, inconsistencies in names may pose problems when completing any course or applying for jobs, as well as when opening a bank account or obtaining PF or PAN. Therefore, it is crucial to prevent any potential issues related to name discrepancies.

If the names on the birth certificate and the SSLC mark sheet do not match, I recommend consulting a Notary Public for guidance.

Ans: It will not be difficult. Please contact a lawyer and I think he will suggest you go for an affidavit where it will be declared by you both the names belong to the same person. Don't be stressed. Best of luck. Professor............:)
