I have an certificate that is really important for me and it has my name written on it, but the problem is the surname is mistakenly written wrong. I want to erase the blue gel ink from it and re-write my correct name.
I would guess the certificate would no longer be valid if tampered with. And I don't see any way of removing gel ink.
Can you consult the organization that issued the document and ask if they can issue another?

Paint thinner. I forget the name of it but it comes in a small tin can at Fred Meyers. Pour the paint thinner in a tall cup and put the paper in the cup and swish it around but never rub it.
How do I remove old blue carbon copy ink from a paper booklet?
Thanks.
Since this an ink that is stamped on there I would use a razor blade to scrape it off. You can buy razor blades in small packs. A craft knife might be too thick for the job.
The truth is you can not. You can try a magic eraser to see if this one work but normally there is no way to remove ink that is on the pages for this long.

Do you know the ink source, liquid, gel? Bic? Whomever, if so, give them a call to see how to remove it safely. You could scan it and remove the ink via Photoshop, other than that, you can send to Vital Statistics for another certified copy.
A paper archivist could remove the ink safely but it would probably cost more than the cost of a new document.
Call your local library and ask for the manager of the genealogy department. If that person can't tell you what to try you can probably be directed to a book on the subject.
Forgers will use Acetone (nail polish remover) to dissolve ink, though I've never tried myself and cannot vouch for the results. Cover any ink you don't want to be dissolved with scotch/cello tape (be sure to double over one end so you can remove it later). Then pour a measure of Acetone into a pan or tray large enough to fit the document, and wash it be gently sweeping it through the acetone until the ink is gone. Hang to dry, and finally remove the tape.

How do I remove ball point pen ink from paper without damaging the paper?
Hi There,
I would try dabbing a bit of fingernail polish remover onto the ink with a cotton ball. If you do not have any fingernail polish remover, I would use rubbing alcohol. The rubbing alcohol needs to be scent and dye free to work.
Other methods include lemon juice on a cotton ball, however with the acidity of lemon juice it is able to dissolve paper quicker.
A mixture of baking soda and water will work also. You mix them into a paste, enough to paint onto the ink you want to remove. This method will work when dry. The water evaporates and the baking soda simply falls onto the table when the paste is dry.
Blue ink is easier to remove from paper than black ink. I hope that you will find one of these methods to be helpful.
Here is a link that I found that will be of help, possibly.

I have some old Record sleeves that has a signature written on it. I want to remove the signature. Do you know of a product that can remove ink from paper? I would appreciate an answer as soon as possible.
I don't know if I should buy an old 45 RPM with the paper sleeve that has a signature written on it in ink or not. It all depends on if I can get the ink off of the paper sleeve. Please let me know if there is a product out there that does this and I will surely buy it. Sincerely.

Use lighter fluid. My friend owns a bookstore, and another a antique store. Use it sparingly, and try it on the most inconspicuous spot.
Try a Magic Rub Eraser. They can get dirt, ink, and a lot of other things off of paper. You can buy them at art supply stores, school suppliers, Walmart, etc. for a couple of dollars or so. Don't get the pink pearl type erasers. They will only smudge it.
