You can ask a Lawyer to issue you affidavit regarding your kid's school credentials, etc, to correct his name but, you cannot ask a Lawyer, and change his name and submit to DFA, You still need to file it in court and it's a long way to process.
I've involved in travel agency before and attended meeting between DFA and NSO about wrong spelling in BC and different from other docs like school credentials, Yung BC pa rin ang dapat sundin. AS DFA WILL ALWAYS SAY, " JUST FOLLOW YOUR AUTHENTICATED BC"
Before yan Penny, but now u can correct it in NSO and dont need a lawyer for that. And if about school credentials then she can request lawyer for joint affidavit and notarized stating that this person is one. Correction of name it will take 2-3 months.
