Thinking of changing your name in India? Let’s make it official — the right way.

Whether it’s post-marriage, due to a spelling error, a shift in religion, or just a personal decision — changing your name legally in India can be a tricky and tiring process if done alone.

That’s where Patent24x7 steps in — offering expert legal help, step-by-step guidance, and professional support to make your name change stress-free and legally valid.


🔍 Common Reasons Why People Change Their Names

Here’s why thousands of Indians legally change their names every year:

  • 💍 After Marriage or Divorce

  • ✍️ Correcting Spelling Errors

  • 🕉️ Religious or Gender Identity Change

  • 🌌 Personal or Astrological Beliefs

  • 👨‍👩‍👧 Adoption or Legal Guardianship

Whatever your reason, it’s crucial that the change is legally documented to reflect across your Aadhaar, PAN card, Passport, and more.


Patent24x7 makes sure you get it right, every step of the way:

1. Draft a Name Change Affidavit

A legal affidavit is created on non-judicial stamp paper, notarized by a licensed advocate. It includes:

  • Your current and new name

  • Reason for the name change

  • Your permanent address & basic personal details

2. Newspaper Publication

Next, you must publish your name change in two newspapers:

  • 🗞️ One in English

  • 📰 One in your regional language

This public notice acts as an official declaration.

3. Gazette Publication

Finally, submit your documents to get your name published in the Official Gazette of India, which legalizes your name change nationwide.

Documents include:

  • Affidavit

  • Newspaper ads

  • ID proofs

  • Passport-sized photos

  • Completed Gazette form
