  1. Hi My son is 15 months old, the only document I have right now is birth certificate. The name in birth certificate need to be changed. but local municipal body says that name on birth certificate cannot be changed. Can I change his name by following affidavit, add in newspaper and gazette notification?
  2. Name in Birth Certificate can be changed by providing the Gazette Notification as Notification in Gazette of India is a biggest proof of name change, so you can go ahead with publication in Gazette of your State.
  3. Kindly advise whether Central PSU employees also require similar documentation as applicable for Govt. Employees ?

Can i obtain a gazette notification with old news papers . is it possible obtain gazette notification mentioning my actual date of changing name which is in september 2015.
  7. The Affidavit and Newspaper Publication in order to submit in Central Gazette should not be older then 1 year, so in your case you have to carry out the process again that is preparing new Affidavit and again publishing the same in Newspaper. Thank you!

  9. Sir, I need your advice regarding a issue I am currently facing. Sir I got my name changed from gazette of India but as I have completed my final year MBBS but college is not accepting my new name and not ready to issue a degree in the new name. Is there any law regarding change in name in old academic certificates? If yes, what should de done?
  10. i am a student and want to add surname before applying for a passport.do i have to complete 3rd step i.e regarding gazette ?
  11. Yes, Notifying it in a Central Gazette is always recommended but if you are just seeking to Change Name in Passport than Affidavit and Newspaper Publication will serve your purpose. Thank you.
  12. Thank you for writing to us but in Old Academics Certificates Changing Name is quite tough task and it depends upon the Board/Authorities that whether they will accept application Or not. For say, In CBSE the time duration to update Name in Certificates is One Year from Passing Date. So, we recommend you to check from the authorities about their rules and regulations. Thank you!
