How to create a legally valid name change affidavit in Uttar Pradesh. Expert templates and notarization assistance.
In Uttar Pradesh, the affidavit is the foundational legal document for any identity change. It must be drafted on Non-Judicial Stamp Paper (typically ₹10, ₹20, or ₹100 depending on the district) and notarized by a recognized authority.
Current full name (as per ID), father's/husband's name, and complete UP residential address.
A formal statement of the "New Name" and the specific reason (Marriage, Astrology, etc.).
A solemn oath stating all information is true to prevent future legal disputes.
While the minimum value is often low, using a ₹100 Stamp Paper is widely recommended in UP for Gazette applications to ensure higher acceptance across all departments. The document must be signed and stamped by a Notary Public or a Executive Magistrate.
Spelling mismatches between the affidavit and supporting ID proofs.
Missing father's name or providing an address different from the ID proof.
Using stamp papers that are excessively old or from a different state.
