Sir, it is not easy to change or rectify any typing error in a marriage certificate. However, the couple may talk to the marriage registrar and applying by the way of affidavit which must include the applicant's information, such as your husband or father's name, address, and proof of age, as well as the applicant's old name, new name, and the reason for the correction of surname.
