Does minor spelling discrepancy require formal correction or an affidavit solution?
I am writing to seek guidance on a minor spelling discrepancy related to my father’s name across our documents. In all of my records, my father’s name appears as "*****A*** SINGH," while his own documents spell it as "***** *** SINGH" (missing one letter, “a”). Whether this discrepancy requires formal correction across our documents. Any alternative solutions, such as using an affidavit or gazette notification, to address this minor inconsistency if formal correction isn’t necessary.
If you wish to standardize the name, create an affidavit stating the correct spelling of your father's name and explaining the discrepancy. This document can serve as a legal declaration to clarify the correct spelling across various records. If a more formal approach is needed, you can publish a notification in the official gazette. This serves as a public record of the correct name and can be referenced when needed. Ensure that all relevant documents (like identity proofs, bank records, etc.) reflect the same spelling to avoid future complications.
A minor spelling discrepancy in your father's name across documents typically does not require formal correction unless it affects legal matters. You can create an affidavit stating that both names refer to the same person, which should be notarized. This affidavit can serve as proof if needed. Alternatively, you may consider a gazette notification for a more formal approach, though it's often unnecessary for minor errors. Keeping both documents together can help clarify any future discrepancies.
Sir, to address the discrepancy in the spelling of your father's name across various documents you should make an affidavit or gazette notification by stating that both names refer to the same person (your father) and that the discrepancy is minor and unintentional. Then you should get the affidavit notarized and signed by a Notary Public to make it legally binding. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
