[Mr.President]

I write my name like this

but the correct method is
[my name] [Father name]

now in some of my certificates my name is stated like this
[Father name] [my name] but now in my university id again :phew
my name comes like this [my name] [Father name]

now what should I do ? shall Inform the university to change my name like
this [Father name] [my name] or keep it in the correct way
[my name] [Father name] and prepare a legal document saying I have two legal names :hmm:

please advice is appreciated !!

IT depends on the country you live in.I would just avoid ask univ to change name as it was in school.Changing names is lots of work.

People still call you by your nickname anyway :(

I don't understand the importance of name order. As long as your name is correct.

It's probably because i'm a Westener :p
But i'm sure legally, as long as your name is correct, it won't matter which way they are presented.

Maybe someone with more knowledge could advise you better actually.

Sorry :(

I think to save yourself for any hurdle in future, ask your Uni to change it as it is in your documents earlier.

Use the name that is on your Birth Certificate/Passport. It will save you a lot of hassle in explanations if you are ever asked to provide ID.

However if you want your name changed officially to how it appears on your Birth certificate, you will need to do this by deed poll through a solicitor. Bear in mind your name will never be changed on your birth cert. In the UK this costs about £35/40. You will then need to provide the deed poll document to whomever/wherever you want your new name to appear.
