Mother surname of child instead of father
03-May-2023 (In Documentation Law)
My son is three years old. His surname is by mother's surname instead of father. Is there any issue in future as per Indian Law? Can I change it by father's surname? Currently I have son's birth certificate only.
If your child is less than one year old, then go to the birth registration office where you applied. If your child is more than one year old, then all records are moved to the main office of the MCD.Get the application form which is the same as a fresh application, and submit it with the following documents:
Hospital letter
Other ID proofs
School certificate photocopies should have the same name as in the id proof
Affidavit stating that the name is incorrect and you seek to change or make a correction in the existing birth certificate.
After submitting the document, they may give you a date to go and collect the birth certificate.

Hello,
No there is no issue if the sir name of your child is as per the surname of the mother, no legal impediment as per the Indian law. Keeping a surname is your prerogative and does not attract violation of any law.
