A LITTLE MORE CLARITY
Questions people.
Big decisions feel easier when you
Is a Gazette notification always required?
While an affidavit and newspaper publication suffice for some local or private updates, an official Central or State Gazette notification is legally required for major government record updates including Passport, Aadhaar, PAN, banking records, government service records, and property documentation.
Can I do a name change in a side city?
Yes, absolutely. The name change process can be initiated from any tier-2, tier-3, or remote location across India. We guide you through your local notary affidavit and regional newspaper publications right from your hometown, and manage the official filing seamlessly.
How much does a name change cost?
Costs depend on your specific requirement (such as marriage, full name change, religion change, or minor name change). It comprises stamp paper/notary charges, two newspaper advertisements, official government Gazette fees, and our dedicated processing assistance. All fees are transparently explained before you begin.
How long does the process take?
The standard timeline typically ranges between 8 to 12 weeks from document preparation to the final Gazette publication. Document drafting and newspaper publication take about 3 to 5 business days, followed by the Department of Publication’s standard scrutiny and release timeline.
Can you help if I live outside India?
Yes, we regularly assist NRIs and Indian citizens residing overseas. You can execute the required affidavit and get it attested by the nearest Indian Embassy or High Commission, while our team handles all India-based newspaper publications and Gazette processing.

Big decisions feel easier when you
Is a Gazette notification always required?
While an affidavit and newspaper publication suffice for some local or private updates, an official Central or State Gazette notification is legally required for major government record updates including Passport, Aadhaar, PAN, banking records, government service records, and property documentation.
Can I do a name change in a side city?
Yes, absolutely. The name change process can be initiated from any tier-2, tier-3, or remote location across India. We guide you through your local notary affidavit and regional newspaper publications right from your hometown, and manage the official filing seamlessly.
How much does a name change cost?
Costs depend on your specific requirement (such as marriage, full name change, religion change, or minor name change). It comprises stamp paper/notary charges, two newspaper advertisements, official government Gazette fees, and our dedicated processing assistance. All fees are transparently explained before you begin.
How long does the process take?
The standard timeline typically ranges between 8 to 12 weeks from document preparation to the final Gazette publication. Document drafting and newspaper publication take about 3 to 5 business days, followed by the Department of Publication’s standard scrutiny and release timeline.
Can you help if I live outside India?
Yes, we regularly assist NRIs and Indian citizens residing overseas. You can execute the required affidavit and get it attested by the nearest Indian Embassy or High Commission, while our team handles all India-based newspaper publications and Gazette processing.
