        Hi everyone,

        I need **legal advice** regarding the **correction of my SSC certificate** issued before the bifurcation of **Andhra Pradesh and Telangana**. There is a lot of confusion, and I want to know the correct legal procedure.

        # Issue:

        1. I passed **SSC in 2013** when Andhra Pradesh and Telangana were still one state.
        2. My **SSC certificate was issued by the Board of Secondary Education, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad** (before bifurcation).
        3. I need to correct **my motherโ€™s name** on the certificate. The name mentioned is incorrect, and all her **official documents (Aadhaar, PAN, Voter ID, Ration Card, Bank Records, Birth Certificate, Community Certificate, etc.) show a different name**.
        4. Additionally, I used a **nickname** for my mother in the SSC records, but her **official documents have her full legal name**. I need to change it to match her official identity proofs.

        # Confusion About the Process:

        Different sources are giving different answers:

        * **Some say I need to go to Hyderabad (Telangana SSC Board)** since my certificate was issued before bifurcation.
        * **Others say I should go to Vijayawada (AP SSC Board)** because I belong to Andhra Pradesh.
        * **Some claim that I must go through the DEO (District Educational Officer) first**, while others say I can apply directly at the Hyderabad SSC Board’s district counter for AP students.
        * **There are reports that Telangana is still handling pre-bifurcation certificate corrections**, while AP only deals with students who passed after 2014.

        # Recent Update:

        Recently, **Nara Lokesh (AP Govt.) announced in a WhatsApp governance update** that they will introduce a **streamlined process for certificate corrections**. If this happens, it will make the process much easier for students like me. However, thereโ€™s **no official confirmation yet**.

        # Seeking Legal Advice:

        * **Legally, which board (AP or Telangana) is responsible for corrections of SSC certificates issued before bifurcation?**
        * **Is it mandatory to go through the DEO, or can I apply directly at the board office?**
        * **Since my motherโ€™s government documents have a different name, will an affidavit + identity proofs be enough for correction?**
        * **What legal documents do I need to submit to ensure the correction is approved?**
        * **Has anyone successfully corrected a similar issue? If so, what was your process?**

        Any legal advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. **I donโ€™t want to face issues in the future due to this incorrect name.** Thanks in advance! ๐Ÿ™
