Adoption Name Change FAQs

Can we change the child's date of birth?

Birthday changes require specific court orders and are separate from name change. We primarily assist with **Name and Parentage** updates.

Is a local newspaper ad enough?

No. While newspaper ads are mandatory, they are NOT sufficient for ID updates. A **Gazette Notification** is the final legal authority.

What if the adoption was informal?

You must first regularize the adoption through a legal deed in Hyderabad to be eligible for a name change Gazette notification.

How do we update school records?

Once the Gazette is published, submit a copy to the school along with the adoption deed to update the student registry permanently.
