Did you also make the same mistake I did? When I wrote my name and gave it to the teacher, after a few days the teacher told me to confirm my name if the spelling matches to the name which is on the passport/NRC, but I who was very confident without even bothering to take a look at the passport/NRC and yes, later on, I checked out of curiosity and guess what, my name was spelt so wrongly that few seconds I laughed and immediately the laugh from my face just disappeared and you know why right?
unfortunately, I had to do a lot just to change my name. Here is what you have to do if you are also one of the victims of this spelling issues.
First of all, check your registration details first. (Click here to check how your name is registered)
The first thing you can do is you tell the teacher what the problem is, see what your teacher can do for you. If you are stuck in a similar case like me who was overconfident about the spelling and ended up giving a wrong spelling despite given a chance to confirm😅.
If your case is just like mine then better go to the next way to correct your name.
You should go to ecz centre and this is After EXAMS. After you have completed your exams you should go to the ecz centre and tell them to correct it. If you fail to correct your name before your statement of results come, you still have 3 more months to correct your name so that your name with correct spelling is printed on the certificate.
There is a fee you have to pay if you want your name to be changed on the certificate.
Here is the list;

But, after trying everything you still didn't manage to make any change then you still have a chance to change the spelling but this is costly.
