An affidavity is basic requirement followed by News Paper insertion wherein you preserve along with header mast the said News Paper for furture legal usage.

There is no provision in Special Marriage Act which address your concern. My advice to you is that first make an affidavit with effect changing of sir name, then got notorised it.Secondly make the publication in the local vernacular newspaper about it.
