In the G.O. (P) No. 483, G.A. (General-C) Department, dated 13th April, 1972, procedure was laid
down for change of name by the Citizens of India residing in the Andhra Pradesh State. Consequent on
the revocation of the proclamation of emergencies and the cessor of Rules made under the Defence and
Internal Security of India Act, it has become necessary to review the procedure that had been in vogue in
regard to the change of name. The Government after careful examination, hereby lay down the following
revised procedure in supersession of the procedure prescribed in the Government Order read above.
2.(1) Any person residing in the State of Andhra Pradesh, who intends to change his name, shall apply, in
the first instance, in the form in Annexure-I to this Order, to the District Magistrate, the Additional
District Magistrate or an Executive Magistrate having jurisdiction, for issue of an official communication
in the form of a letter or memorandum to the effect that he is a Citizen of India.
(2) The District Magistrate, the Additional District Magistrate or the Executive Magistrate having
jurisdiction, may on the basis of information furnished by the applicant and after such inquiry as he
thinks fit, issue a letter or memorandum in the form in Annexure-II to this Order, to the effect that on the
basis of the information available, he is qualified for recognition as a Citizen of India. The Magistrate
concerned shall exercise due caution and satisfy himself about the applicant’s claim to Indian Citizenship
before issuing the letter or memorandum.
(3) The applicant shall, thereafter, send another application to the Director of Government Printing and
Stationery (Printing Wing) along with the letter or memorandum issued by the Magistrate concerned for
publication of a private advertisement in the Andhra Pradesh Gazette, on payment of the publication
charges.
