An essential space curve in the study of differential geometry is the rectifying curve. In this paper, we studied the adequate requirement for a rectifying curve under the isometry of the surfaces. The normal components of the rectifying curves are also studied, and it is investigated that for rectifying curves, the Christoffel symbols and the normal components along the surface normal are invariant under the isometric transformation. Moreover, we also studied some properties for the first fundamental form of the surfaces.
