Step 2: Fill The Form Carefully

Applicants should read all instructions provided in the form before filling it out. All details must be entered accurately and should match the information that needs to be corrected in the board's records.

Step 3: Attach Required Documents

To support the correction request, students need to submit several documents for verification. These usually include:

  • Birth certificate issued by the competent authority
  • School admission records
  • School leaving certificate
  • Valid identity proof such as Aadhaar card, passport, or driving licence
  • Copy of the marksheet containing the incorrect details
  • An affidavit prepared on stamp paper and attested by a notary or magistrate explaining the correct name or date of birth and the reason for the correction
  • Once completed, the form and documents must be submitted to the school. The school authorities will verify the details and forward the request to the board.

Step 4: Pay The Prescribed Fee

Applicants must also pay the processing fee depending on the type of request. The commonly applicable charges are:

  • Correction in name on marksheet/certificate: Rs 1,000 (including document charges)

Step 6: Issue Of Revised Documents

If the request is approved, the board updates the student's records and issues corrected documents. These may include:

  • A revised marksheet showing the corrected name or date of birth
  • Updated certificates, if required
  • Documents Required For Name Or DOB Change

The Central Board of Secondary Education allows different types of corrections depending on the nature of the error.

For Official Name Changes

If a student wants to change their name or surname completely, the request will be considered only when:

  • The change has been approved by a competent court
  • The revised name has been published in the official government gazette
  • Applicants must submit proof of the court order and the gazette notification.

For Spelling Or Typographical Errors

Minor mistakes in the student's name, surname, or parents' names can be corrected if the revised spelling matches the details already recorded in the school's official documents or the List of Candidates (LOC) submitted to CBSE.

Students must submit attested copies of:

  • School admission form
  • School leaving certificate from the previous school
  • Relevant entry from the school admission and withdrawal register
  • The school principal verifies these records and forwards the request to the board.

CBSE Rules For Name Or DOB Corrections

The Central Board of Secondary Education has set specific conditions for such requests:

  • Corrections in date of birth can be requested only within one year of the declaration of Class 10 or Class 12 results.
  • Applications must be submitted through the school head along with supporting documents.
  • Requests submitted after the one-year deadline are not considered.
  • Spelling errors or factual inaccuracies in the student's name, surname, or parents' names can be corrected within the permitted time frame.
  • A complete change in name or surname is allowed only if it was legally approved and published in the government gazette before the result declaration.

Name Correction Through The e-Harkara Portal

The e-Harkara portal is an online system used by CBSE-affiliated schools to maintain student records electronically and share them with the board.

The general procedure includes:

Application Submission:

Students or their guardians submit a written request for a name correction to the school principal.

Principal's Verification:

The principal reviews the application and supporting documents, including court orders or gazette notifications in case of official name changes.

Updating Records:

Once verified, the school updates the student's details in the e-Harkara system to ensure the corrected information is recorded.

Updating School Documents:

The corrected name is reflected in documents issued by the school, such as marksheets, transfer certificates and other records.

Informing CBSE:

Finally, the school notifies the relevant regional office of the CBSE and updates the essential databases and portals with the revised details.
