What to do 1 year before going to study abroad:

1:-) If there is any mistake in the certificate by matching your name and your parent's name, correct it, it may be a spelling mistake or something else, at this time one thing should be noted that the name in the voter ID of your parent should be in the certificate, in general, Your birth certificate, certificate and father's NID should have same name

2:-) Preparation of passport: While preparing the passport, take care of the name and permanent and current address as per the previous certificate, so that the current address is Barisal in the birth certificate. Still, Noakhali is somehow entered into the passport.

(If there is any mistake in points 1 and 2, it is necessary to correct them whether you go abroad or not, and the correction is a time-consuming matter)
