Purpose: To correct all my records to my birthname
Tracking no: #DepEd-469955270726
Good Day! I would like to ask information regarding the process of how can I correct my school documents from elementary up to college. I found out that I have a double registration in PSA. I am requesting this name change to correct discrepancies in my official school records. Having inconsistent names in official documents can lead to complications in my future legal matters. I used my second name in all of my school record, I need to use the first registered birth that's why I would like to ask for correcting my school records. I graduated already college, somehow they let me to graduate using the civil registry record.
