The first step is to submit an Affidavit to a First Class Magistrate/Notary Public/Oath Commissioner in the District court.This document serves as a testimony of your decision and intention to change your name legally
The next step is to publish an advertisement in two newspapers- one in the official vernacular language and the other in English.
This is done to publically declare the change in the name so that if a conflict arises later, you have an official declaration of your name change.
Go to the department that looks after the Gazette publication, the Government Press, in most of the cases.
Fill the “Deed changing surname Form” and fill it very carefully following all the instructions mentioned on
The name changing notification will then be published in the Gazette and you’ll receive its copies in the mentioned address in the Deed Form.
After you have successfully changed your name, you will have to update your official documents (e.g.-Passport, PAN Card, Driving License, and Ration Card).
you can use class 10th certificate

Hi, once you complete the name change process as per the legal process and publication of the same in Gazette, then you can approach the Department of Education who is authorized to reissue or modify the school certificates. They shall be able to issue a modified copy of the School certificate as per the name changed.
