Name change and the formalities involved .

How do I change my name? what are the steps involved ?

As a budding lawyer I have got this query from my known people many a times. Having guided them from time to time, I am putting here the procedures involved in getting ones name changed in a simple and easy language. For the sake of brevity I have categorized the procedure into steps.

Steps involved:

Step 1: Getting an affidavit is the first step to get your name changed. For this you can visit the nearest court or the nearest notary and get an affidavit made. The content of the affidavit can be taken from the internet very easily and there is no need to pay the notaries as extra amount for the content which they normally charge. The affidavit should not cost you more than 100 rupees.

Step2: The second step is getting your intention to get you name changed published in at least 2 local newspapers. For this you can step into office of any newspaper and they would guide you with the content that would be published in the newspapers in this regard. After the same is published in the newspaper you should preserve the copy of the newspapers as well as keep extra copies for future reference.

Step 3: The step 3 is getting the same published in the official gazette of your respective state , when you apply to them they would be sending you the copy of the published information once it is published.

Step 4: This would be to get your name changed in driving license, aadhar card, passport etc by attaching the copy of the documents mentioned above.
