How can I obtain a divergence certificate for name correction?
I wish to have my father's name corrected on my birth certificate. My father was baptized with one name but has used a common English translation for most of his documents. The MCGM Mumbai considers this a complete name change and has asked me to obtain either a court order or a divergence certificate. My query is about the procedure for obtaining a divergence certificate from the Department of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj or the Tehsildar's office, the documents required, and the fees if the process is done through a lawyer.
Sir, you can obtain a divergence certificate through tehsildar office by submitting an application form and providing the required documents, and then the authority will verify the documents and may conduct an enquiry to ensure the documents. If you opt to go through a lawyer for obtaining the Divergence Certificate, it will vary depending on the complexity of the process and the lawyer's experience.
