Change of name

jeyaharts (Querist) 06 May 2015 This query is : Resolved
Hi, I changed my name in 2002 (from: S.Jeyahar to T.S.Jeyahar), i got it notified in Tamilnadu Gazette also. Based on that i got PAN card & Bank a/c in the new name. Now i'm planning to apply for Passport. I'm being told that apart from Gazette notification, i have to get Affidavit (notarized by Advocate) and also Newspaper Advertisement. Obviously i had not done that in 2002. Is it compulsory & necessary to get Affidavit & Newspaper Advertisement?? If yes, what is the procedure for the same. Is there any format for such affidavits?? Also I have changed my residence since 2002. So what is the procedure involved. Would be glad if somebody gives me the correct guidance. Thanks in advance.

Once Gazette notification is done, thee is no need for Affidavit & News paper public notice.

The possession of gazette notification notifying the change of your name will be enough.

I cannot believe the Tamil Nadu government shall publish notification in the gazette without an application supported by affidavit and publication in newspaper.
Affidavit of the passport applicant is not required at this stage. However, consult PPO.
