Legal Question in Administrative Law in India

I want to change my surname ( Solankey ) to Solanki in my all official document, which is wrongly entered in my 10th & 12th marksheet and its getting continue in all document like passport & Driving License.

If I want to change my surname from Solankey to Solanki for that also I have to give advertisement.

In my wife�s passport consulate officer also was not agree to change spelling (Solanki) & they write as it is on my wife passport (Solankey).

I am worry if same wrong spelling will continue in my kid�s name. What is the solution for that?

Since we are using English language that�s why it is required to change in spelling otherwise, In Hindi it is the same.

Please guide me.
