Request for Adding Child/Son/Daughter Name in the Service Book

Here are five templates for requesting to add a son/daughter/child's name in a service book for future benefits etc.

How to request a child-name entry in a service book

Use a child-name entry request for an employee record maintained by your employer or department. Keep the purpose specific: adding a dependent child to an official record is different from changing a spouse’s name or applying for leave.

  • Mention your full name, job designation, department and service or employee number.
  • Write the child’s full name, relationship and date of birth exactly as recorded in the required documents.
  • Check whether your office needs a birth certificate, a prescribed declaration or a separate dependent-registration form.
  • Ask for acknowledgement and check the updated record; the entry itself does not automatically establish eligibility for any particular allowance or benefit.

Choose one of the examples below, replace the placeholders with verified details, and review the finished request before sending.
