The procedure to change name is as follows:

How to change your name legally in India? (3 easy steps)

I am a lawyer by profession, and have followed the below given procedure for changing my own name. Let me use my experience to help you to change your own name.

Follow the below given steps for changing your own name.

Step 1 – Affidavit

Go to you local Notary and make an affidavit regarding change of your name. You have to mention therein your specific reason for changing your name. For example, you may like to change your name after marriage (especially for women), due to astrological or numerological reasons or anything. Recently, one of my friends was going to start his own company who was locally famous in his nickname, and thus he changed his name from Rishabh Agarwal to Saurav Agarwal.

Note: Here is your sample name change affidavit for reference.

Tips: Make a few copies of your affidavit, and preserve the original one carefully. It’s better to scan it, and preserve its electronic copy on your external hard disk as well as on multiple computers.

This affidavit can be used for changing your first or last name and also using the same, you can completely change your name (both first and last name, for example from Rishabh Agarwal to Saurav Verma).

Step 2 – Newspaper Publication

I, Sri ___________________ (old name) have changed my name from __________________ (old name) to ______________ (new name) by affidavit sworn before the Notary Public, ______________ (place) on ___________ (date). Henceforth, I shall be known as _________________ (New Name) for all purposes. ______________ (Name) and _______________ (Complete postal address).

Full Signature

Fill in the blanks with appropriate details and publish it in your local newspaper.

Tips:

You can choose any 2 local newspapers for publishing it. (No need for FrontPage coverage). Although you need only once copy but its better to get ten copies of that newspaper in which your statement is published and preserve it carefully, because it’s now a lifetime issue. It’s better to preserve both the hard and scanned copies of the newspaper.

Step 3 – Gazette Notification

Now for getting your name published in the Official Gazette of your state, for example: “The Delhi Gazette”, you need to do the following things:

1. Visit your local Government Press or the department that mobilizes Gazette notification.

1. Discrepancy in name does create problems at one time or other in life.

2. If your grandfather is alive then he can create a will wherein he may identify himself as Vijay Chand Jain @ Vijay Kumar Jain.

These both are different names, hence is it advisable that he makes an affidavit duly notarized stating that he is known by both the names and both are one and the same, if need be it may published in the gazette publication too.

Dear Querist, as explained your grandfather is using different names on documents. It would be appropriate to get an affidavit made explaining the name that your grandfather want to use, thereafter get the same article published in the newspaper. After the expiry of three months your grandfather can legally use the name.

Thanks & Regards.

One way is that you may do a correction deed but the same is a tedious process. Other way is that to do a name change process in the gazzet and by doing a paper publication and then the same may be given to the concerned sub Registrar offices to get the same mutated in the new name entered.

Hello,

Just get an affidavit which says that two are the name of the same person and are same legal person.

That will not make any problem.

Wherever there arises any issue, he may give his affidavit saying that the two names are one and the same, and one be read as another to avoid any confusion.
