About Legal Name Change

Ever wondered how a simple name change can transform someone’s identity? Take the example of Ravi Mehra, a marketing executive who felt his name didn’t reflect his creative personality. After officially changing it to Rayan Mehra, he found new confidence—professionally and personally.

Name changes are becoming increasingly common in India for reasons ranging from marriage and divorce to numerology, gender identity, or just personal choice. While the intention might be simple, the legal procedure involves careful documentation, affidavits, and Gazette notifications.

That’s where Advisor Daddy steps in. We simplify the entire name change journey—drafting accurate documents, managing formalities, and ensuring full compliance with government regulations. Whether you’re embracing a new identity or correcting an old one, we’ll help you get it done right.

Step-by-Step Name Change Process

An affidavit is a sworn statement declaring your intent to change your name.

  • Details Included:

    • Old and new names

    • Reason for the change

    • Personal details (e.g., father’s/husband’s name, address)

  • Execution:

    • Printed on non-judicial stamp paper

    • Notarized by a public notary

Step 2: Newspaper Publication

Publishing your name change in newspapers serves as public notice.

  • Requirements:

    • Publish in two newspapers: one local language and one English daily

    • Include details like old/new names, address, and affidavit date

  • Note: Retain original copies for future reference.

Step 3: Gazette Notification

The final step is to publish your name change in the Official Gazette of India.

  • Documents Needed:

    • Notarized affidavit

    • Newspaper publications

    • Passport-sized photographs
