Parents' FAQs
Common concerns when changing a child's name in Delhi.
Can one parent sign if the other is unavailable?
Generally, both parents' signatures are required. If one is unavailable (due to death or divorce), a death certificate or legal custody documents must be provided.
Will this change the birth certificate?
The Gazette notification does not change the birth certificate itself, but it acts as a permanent legal attachment that overrides it for all future uses like Passport, School, and PAN.
