How Can I Change My Name?

i am really very sorry if i have posted this question in a wrong section. It's just that i don't actually know in which part of laws my problem comes.

Get this information that you " should be known as XXXX in future" and "Krunal Meheta and Krish are the same person", be published in official gazette of your state.

published in official gazette of your state, and also publish in a newspaper !
 

you can get your name changed by

A)  getting an affidavit done and declaring that you are Krish and would be known as Krish henceforth and get it Notarised and

then publishing the same in two leading news papers of your area/state

thank you all but.. actually i am not getting the exact meaning of 'gazette' which you are wanting to tell me. are Gazette & newspapers both different things? or do you mean that i will need to publish a press note of my name change in 'The Indian Gazette (Bhartiya Rajpatra)' which is weekly published from new delhi??

I request you to elaborate the entire procedure/method step by step. will i have to publish the name change notification in two state & two national dailies?? (after a lot of searching.. but i was not able to locate any 'Gazette of Gujarat'

Kindly solve my doubt.  (as a man also told me that i've to file a case in the court in order to change my name because i am a graduate now... well, i know that it doesnt sound much logical but i have no clues!!)

PLEASE HELP.

THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE!

hi,

This  is Hari Rao from Hydeaba and Andhra Pradesh

I saw yor qustion  proceudre to be adopted for change of name though I have gone through the answers it is partly correct but for change of name in andhra pradesh we have make application to the concerned Thasildar( MRO)  along with certain formalites after fuling the same the M.R.O will make eqnirty and pass order for chagne of Name . Basing on the such order of M.R.O, the person has to make payemnt of D.D to publish in offcial gazett( official gazette is nothing but government  new /notication papers)authiniticated news paper as per evidence act. If there is any urgency you can also  publish the same in the priviate news paper like Hindu or Times of india. 

 I advise you approch the you conered collector office or Thasildar office of your area they will guide in our country verious states adopts various methods

1. You just have to get an advertisement released in the Gazatte of your State Government. The contents could be as under:

"I, Krunal Mehta, aged 24 years, son of ..... , student, residing at ................. shall henceforth (with effect from .... ) be known as "..........". 

signed .....

date:

Place:

2. An advertisement in the State Government's official Gazatee is a good, sufficient and effective "Public notice" under law. There is no necessity to publish any other advertisement in any newspaper. You need not spend money on superficial advertisements.

3. No affidavit and the like are necessary. In case the State Government's Government Press that publishes the Gazatte advertisement insists on a procedure of affidavit, the same may have to be furnished to them. In my State, Tamilnadu, the Government Press has a form which has to be filled in and there is no requirment of any affidavit. In my State the Gazatte Advt costs just Rs 450/- There is no other cost involved. The Press will give us two copies of the Original Gazattee for our records. While applying for issue or renewal of passport a copy of the Gazatte advertisement may have to be furnished to the Passport authorities in evidence apart from the usual affidavit under Passport Regulations.

4. Your Distric Collectorate can give you the address of the Government Press or such authority that publishes the Gazatte in your State.  I did check your Government's website https://www.gujaratindia.com/ but could not make much headway in locating the same because the e-services tab took me to a page in Gujarati, which language I do not know.

THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH EVERYONE... MAY GOD BLESS YOU!

Dear friend,

Please go the Govt printing press

where form for publishing change in name in Govt Gazette is sold at a meagre price.

Some states prescribe affiavits for publishing in the Govt gazette

simple meagre fees for publishing in Govt gazettee changes ur name.
