Legal name change in Ontario

[Cannnada]

Hello,
My son who is a minor has a Single name in his Canadian PPT similar to what he has in India PPT.
I'm applying for a legal name change in Ontario for minors, filled in the form too.
One question: In person only allowed at 47 Sheppard Ave? OR mail in to them.
I was wondering if am allowed to go to other Service Ontario?
Also, if any one who has completed name change in past few months can guide me with important details as not to delay the process?

I submitted on March 25...just fill it properly.
