Legal & Affidavits

Name Change Affidavit Generator — a practical guide

The sworn first step of changing your name in India: you affirm the old name, the new name and that both refer to you. Banks, boards and passport offices ask for it, usually alongside newspaper publication and (for many purposes) a Gazette notification.

Execute on non-judicial stamp paper of your state’s value and swear before a Notary/Oath Commissioner — an unsworn printout is just paper.
The full sequence for most official changes: affidavit → two newspaper ads (one local language, one English) → Gazette of India publication. Minor spelling fixes often need only the affidavit.
Write both names exactly as they appear/should appear — character-for-character.

Is the affidavit alone enough to update my Aadhaar/PAN?

Sometimes for minor corrections; major changes usually require the Gazette notification too. Check the specific authority’s document list.

Name change after marriage — same process?

The affidavit (with marriage certificate) is commonly accepted for surname changes after marriage; many authorities skip the Gazette requirement in this case.

General information, not legal advice — rules that vary by state are flagged as such; verify locally where it matters.
