Gender Change Process In India
The procedure for Name and Gender change involves only three steps:
- Obtain the GD (Gender Disorientation) Certificate from the Surgeon working in the hospital who operated the surgery
- Make an Affidavit for Change of Name and Gender via Notary or Judicial Magistrate
- Place Newspaper Advertisements in the Local and National Newspapers
- Prepare the documentations (Request letter, CD Certificate, Witness Forms and CD containing Name Change Advertisement)
- Submit the Documents to the Department Of Publication
To change Name and Gender by oneself, the first and foremost criteria to be met by a name change applicant is that he/she should be an adult or over 18 years age.
Here’s the detailed process about what one needs to do in order to change Name and Gender.
Gender Change Affidavit in India
The first step in changing one’s Name and Gender is to obtain an affidavit for the change of Name & Gender from an authorized notary public in India. An affidavit is required explaining why the gender and name change is opted by the person who is making the affidavit besides affirming these details-
- Full name of the applicant (deponent)
- Father’s name or husband’s name (in case of married women)
- Old and New gender
- Old and New Name
- Full residential address
- A declaration stating that the facts provided in the affidavit are true and correct
Now that you have made the Name Change Affidavit Format, It should be attested by either a Judicial Magistrate or Notary . We assist you with the notaries part as well at your doorstep.
Publication in Newspaper
After completion of the previous Step in the gender and name change process. Now one needs to publish the name change advertisement in a newspaper. The advertisement should publish in one national or regional newspaper, whichever is suitable.
A few mandatory details that should be included in the newspaper publication for your Name and Gender change include:
- Old and New Name and Gender of Applicant
- Full Address of Applicant
- Father’s/Husband Name of Applicant
- Notary Name who attested the affidavit
Always verify that the content in the advertisement and the previously mentioned details are accurate and appropriate before placing it in a newspaper. Your entire process could be hampered by a simple error and you will need to start over again.
