Lost change of name affidavit

@ Author,

1. I doubt for Visa, Paper Advertisement of name change will be acceptable. Re-check with them.

2. The most authentic route is via Gazette Notification. For the same you need to just submit full mast of newspaper where in 2010 name change public note appeared and along with filing up Form for Gazette Publication of Name Change, affixing photo at Gazette Publication Office and meeting current Fees and when it gets published seek dozens of spare copies of the Gazette for all future purposes.

Thanks for your response Tajobsindia. Cant I do a new affidavit of name change and stating that I have changed my name since his day of 2010 and have lost the old one and hence redoing it.??

A fresh affidavit for having changed your name on some previous date is not at all necessary, instead you better go for gazette publication for change of name which will be a more authentic document for passport and visa purpose.
