affidavit with exhibits as per your corporation along with certified true copies of documents with full and correct name should be annexed.


this shall help you to get a new (duplicate) edited document and then you may give a Public notice to that effect.

You will have to get it corrected in the records of the Municipal Corporation in which the birth was originally registered. Specifics of the procedure would depend on location of birth, as each state has its separate rules in this behalf.

No need of going to court. You can go to the Ward office with a copy of the old birth certificate and copies of child's aadhar car and passport along with an affidavit given by you assuming your child is below 18 years. The affidavit has to mention the child's surname and that for some reason the surname was not put on the certificate earlier.
