Here’s a detailed breakdown of the steps involved in the Legal name change procedure:
Are you opting for a name change? Then you will need to make an affidavit on stamp paper and that should contain your old and new name. It should bear the relevant reason as to why the name should be changed and it should be signed by two witnesses and it should be notarized by a notary public.
You will have to publish an advertisement in two newspapers, one in national English daily and another in a regional/local language. These newspaper advertisements serve as public notice of your name change. So publishing a newspaper advertisement is one of the most important steps of the whole process of name change.
The affidavit and newspaper cutting of your name change advertisement will have to be presented to the Department of Publication to record Gazette notification. Once submitted the government officials will check your application and in a case where everything has been done in an authentical manner your name will appear in the Gazette and once it has been published your name change will be officially recognized.
As soon as you obtain the permission to your name-change application, the notice appears in the official Gazette within roughly three days, in your mailbox. That’s all there is to it!
