How This Works in Varanasi
A legal name change in India requires three steps: (1) swearing a name change affidavit before a notary, (2) publishing the change in one Hindi and one English newspaper (mandatory public notice), and (3) submitting the file for the official Uttar Pradesh Government Gazette notification. Once published in the Gazette, the old-name-to-new-name change is permanent legal record and accepted by CBSE, UP Board, universities, passport authorities, and banks. We manage the entire pipeline from drafting to Gazette.
Varanasi editions of Dainik Jagran and Amar Ujala are widely accepted for name change newspaper publications. The UP Gazette is published by the Government of Uttar Pradesh through the Director, Printing and Stationery, Allahabad (Prayagraj). Processing time from submission to publication is typically 3–6 weeks depending on current Gazette backlog.
How We Handle Your Case

Notarized Affidavit
We draft and get notarized a name change affidavit declaring your old name, new name, and reason for the change.
