Hi,
I am from Bangalore, I have changed my name after marriage. I have assumed a new name after wedding which is almost different from my old name. Following is the procedure which I followed for name change: 1. Consulted an advocate and made an affidavit with the notary,
2. Advertised in 2 of the national dailies.
3. Contacted Karnataka government press for the name change to be published in gazette. But there the authorities told me that since I work in private sector(I am not a government employee)they can not publish my name change in gazette notification, and they have given me a circular stating the same which is based on a karnataka name change act of 1967.Hence my name cange could not be published in karnataka gazette. According to karnataka govt press authorities name change in karnataka gazette can only be done for karnataka govt. employees, not for anyone else.
This is what I have gone through till now. Now I have few questions.
1. Is the name change procedure which I followed is correct? And is it correct that in karnataka gazette they won't publish name change of people working in private companies?
2. Is it compulsory to change my name in the academic certificates? I am 30 years old and I do not wish to change it in my educational certificates.
3.I am planing to go abroad on work permit, will it affect my career abroad if I do not change my name in my educational certificates? I am planing to change my name in passport, pan card, voter id, aadhar card, and in my bank account. Need I get any other document for name change so that I will not have any difficulty in future, in India as well as abroad.
Kindly advice.
Thanks in advance.

Procedure followed by you are correct.
No Educational certificate will be altered. even after publishing in Govt. Gazette.
So forget about it.
I do not think, Kar Govt should ban Pvt Employee to publish their name changes.
If so, do not declare your pvt service. say ur housewife, and publish it. Publishing is a part of name change. I m not conversant with Kar Govt Rule. In Mah State, there is no such restriction.

Yes. it is necessary to inform the education authorities in respect of name change. You are not changed your name through court by filing the case and you changed your name through affidavit. Publication in the official gezette is not allowed. Inform the your education authorities by furnishing the copy of affidavit and published news paper. They will endorse your new name in your documents.

No change needed. Simply attachment of copy of the Gazetter notification along with your educational certificates would do wherever you apply. Educational institutions won't change the name in certificates as well as their records, as you assumed the name post facto.

But mr.Dhingra, Karnataka govt. do not allow gazette notification for non government employees. so I do not have a gazette notification.

I am sure Karnataka Government cannot refuse to publish notification of name change in their general Gazette. However, you can try Gazette of India, which is not likely to refuse your request.

Now, i dont think this will suffice the issue of a gazette publication, hence if I have to publish the name in gazette of india , how can I go about it? I mean do they have a website? I googled and found a few but that looked more like a private firm than a public office. I do not want to change my name in my educational certificates, but I do not want to have any problem with my name in the future even in India and abroad.
