Gazette Notification

A Gazette Notification is the official government publication that gives your name change legal recognition across India. Whether it's a name change after marriage, a surname correction, a gender change, or a religion change, we handle the entire process — affidavit drafting, newspaper advertisement, and application filing with the Government Press — so you don't have to run between offices.

Processing Time

4–8 weeks (State Gazette: 3–5 weeks · Central Gazette: 6–8 weeks)

Documents Required

  • Notarized affidavit stating the reason for change
  • Identity proof (Aadhaar card / PAN card)
  • Address proof (utility bill / rent agreement)
  • 2 recent passport-size photographs
  • Newspaper advertisement copies (local + national daily)
  • Application fee payment receipt
Note: When you click Apply Now for this service, the application form will ask for your old name, new name, and the reason for the change, instead of the usual first/last name fields.
