NEB name or date of birth correction in Nepal: full guide
A deeper guide for correcting identity details across registration, gradesheet, transcript, provisional, migration, and certificate records.
Independent guide, not an official website
Nepal Docs Guide is not affiliated with the Government of Nepal. This guide helps you prepare, but official portals and offices control final rules, fees, forms, and timelines.

Required documents checklist

This is an independent preparation guide, not an official notice or legal decision. Requirements can change by office, applicant, service type, and current government notice.
Trace the mismatch to the earliest school or registration record, gather birth/citizenship proof and school recommendation, then follow the current NEB correction process for all affected documents.
Why this matters
Academic records form a chain. A correction should reach the source record so the same mistake does not return in later documents.

The decision point most people miss
Separate a printing typo from a change to the underlying registered identity. The evidence and authority required can be different.
Avoid risky shortcuts
Do not submit fake records, edit official documents yourself, hide a legal or identity mismatch, or pay anyone who promises guaranteed approval outside the official process.
