To change your name legally, prepare an alphabet, publish an advertisement for name change in the local newspaper of your state and then publish a notification in the Gazette of India. This is a legal document on the basis of which the name will be changed in all your documents.

Changing your name legally in India requires a Gazette notification, a process handled exclusively by the Central Gazette Office in Delhi. There’s no direct online self-service for this. However, some companies offer online name change services that streamline this process. You can submit your documents via mail or WhatsApp, and they’ll handle the Gazette publication. This saves you time and travel costs. If you need a Gazette notification for a name change, consider using a reliable online service.

Gazette notification is an official document in which the publication of name change becomes the legal proof of name change.
