A step-by-step walkthrough of the legal procedure to change your name, correct document spelling errors, or revert surnames.
The first step is to declare your intent to change your name. This is done via a legal affidavit drafted on a non-judicial stamp paper (value of ₹10 or higher).
To notify the public of your name update, you must publish announcements in two widely-circulated local daily newspapers in your city.
The final step is to submit your complete application file to the Central Gazette Authority in New Delhi for publication in the Gazette of India.
Here is our step-by-step service execution timeline from start to delivery.
Speak with a name change consultant to discuss your specific requirements (marriage, divorce, spelling error, religion change, etc.) and clarify any queries.
