Changing my religion, given name and surname

Hello friends,

I'm a young fellow of 19 from Sandeshkhali,WB.  I belong to a Hindu family.. But, I want to convert my religion to Catholic Christianity and change my given name and family name(surname) so with all of my senses. Will you please define me a way to do that so legally??

And, I have to paste my new name and surname into my birth certificate, education certificates, voter identity card, pan card, ration card etc. Will you please help me out in that case too with legal procedure suggestions??

Thank you.

1.

 

 

Go to the State Government Press in the Capital City of your state.

 

 

2.

 

 

Ask them for the form for change of name and obtain it.

 

 

3.

 

 

Fill up the form and submit it (preferably then and there).

 

 

4.

 

 

Pay the requisite Fees in cash. (Rs. 120/- in Maharashtra for routine (6-8 weeks for publication) and Rs. 620/- for urgent (2-3 weeks)).

 

 

5.

 

 

The Press would publish the details of the change of your name (or father's name, or surname as be your case) and post you two copies of the Government Gazette or ask you to collect the same. The press would also let you know when they would publish the same.

 

 

6.

 

 

Thereafter wherever you wish to submit your change of Name / Father's Name / Surname Proof, you can submit true copies of the relevant pages of the Gazette.
