You need to depose on oath before the Board that you and your parents had been known with such and such names ( by mentioning the name and spelling you want to be corrected as) and by mistake and due to ignorance it was written and spelled as "." the name/names you are registered in records. You have to prove by facts and documentary evidence that you and your parents actually were known as "....." ( the name/names you want to be corrected ) and in case such correction is not made in records, you will suffer irreparable loss. After taking such type of declaration, the Board may order that your name be corrected as you want for further records, ignoring the spelling it was already in use. However, the Board is not obliged to do what you want, because the entire mistake is committed on your part.
