Hi Sir,

Broadly classified, the procedure for name change involves only three steps:

1. Make an affidavit for change of name 

2. Place newspaper advertisement with details of change of name

3. Submit papers to The Department of Publication

To change name by oneself, the first and foremost criteria to be met by a name change applicant is that he/she should be over 18 years age. The procedure is different for the name change of a minor.

An affidavit is required explaining why the name change is opted by the person who is making the affidavit besides affirming these details-

  1. Full name of the applicant (deponent)
  2. Father’s name or husband’s name (in case of married women)
  3. Full residential address
  4. A declaration stating that the facts provided in the affidavit are true and correct

The deponent should sign the affidavit at the recommended place. It should be attested by a Judicial Magistrate or Notary or an Oaths Commissioner.

I hope this heps. 

Regards 

Aman
