Which document is required for married female MTLE applicants?

• A. NSO/PSA Birth Certificate
• B. NSO/PSA Marriage Contract
• C. Transcript of Records with scanned picture and remark 'For Board Examination Purposes'
• D. Certificate of Completion of a Refresher Course

Answer: (B)

When a married female applicant applies for MTLE, proof of a legal name change due to marriage is required. The document that establishes this change is the NSO/PSA Marriage Contract, which shows the applicant’s married name and link to the maiden name. This ensures the name on the board examination credentials matches government records. Birth certificates reflect birth name, not current legal name after marriage, so they don’t serve this purpose. A transcript of records confirms academic credentials but not name changes. A refresher course certificate relates to continuing education, not to identity or name changes.
