Misspelled name?

My sirname is misspelled as tiwari on my 10th certificate. All other documents have 'tiwary'. Could I apply for a fresh passport with documents having different spellings? Or do i have to change my name...
Answer:
Its very simple case. For change of name insert advertisements in two reputed newspapers (one local newspaper of the area in which he/she is residing and 2nd in newspaper of the area of permanent address) and submit original newspapers at time of applying for passport in his/her new name. Along with this you have to give an Affidavit as provide in Annexure 鈥楨鈥?of the passport rules %26 regulations booklet, on non judicial paper signed %26 in presence of two witnesses %26 attested by the Notary Public with his stamp. Just take all these documents %26 your original passport %26 get the necessary change made after depositing the required fee in the regional passport office.

Have someone prepare a supplementary document that states the correct spelling of your name, get it signed by the person or organization that issued it, get it notarized, and attach it to your "10th Certificate", if that's the only one with the incorrect spelling.

Indian names, in Roman script transliteration, are spelt in many ways. The problem comes only when different documents are to be correlated.It would be in one's own interest,to get the name spelt correctly on every occasion and ensure correction then and there.
For passport purposes, date of bith proof, is that mentioned in the SSC/SSLC. So, necessarily this document should have been relied upon by you, for all purposes, like PAN,LIP,Driving licence etc. While travelling abrorad as a tourist, you don't need any other document except visa of the country. But,when you want to study or seek work permit/permanent resident/green card/citizen status, then your SSC is not taken as authentic DOB proof, and passport too is not relied upon, by many countries, including USA. They need your birth certificate from Panchayat/Municipality/Corpora... of the place of birth. So, even a minor variation of one alphaber in your surname (not sir name), may not be acceptable.
So, determine the purpose, of your visit first. If only as a tourist, no change is needed. Otherwise, passport has got to be aligned exactly as per your DOB proof as per municipal records. For this you can apply to the Passport officer, for correction, including any other corrections you may need, after minutely scrutinising all other details recorded. You can't get another passport, when you have already one. If you succumb to any touts, by lodging fresh application, suppressing the fact of present passport, you are committing an offence, punishable in law.
Within India, this minor variation doesn't matter. If you still want only one way of spelling, this would require a change of name for which you have to file a declaration before a notary, publish it in newspapers, also in the official gazette. This is a process tedious and costly in time and money

It won't make any difference.
