• Change of name

As per all official records of my father, he has been using his name as" KRUSHNAJI". But in our school records, he has mentioned his name as 'KRISHNARAO". Even, in his will, he has mentioned his name as KRUSHNAJI. Now, he is 85 years. Considering his age, it has become necessary to remove this anomaly in his name and required to establish KRUSHNAJI and KRISHNARAO are the names of the same person.
How to go about it as per law?

Execute an affidavit to this effect, that his correct name is so and so and not so and so. Get this affidavit sworned and notarized.

Bring a public notice regarding this in a newspaper.

It is not change of name that is required to be done now.

You can prepare an affidavit and affirm the same before a notary public and get it published in a local newspaper as well as in the government gazette publication stating that Krishnaji and Krishna Rao are one the the same person and he is known by both the names. This affidavit is given for the purpose of letting known to the world that this person is known by both the names though it is mentioned differently in certain documents.

This publication copy will help you tide over the crisis if any.

You can get an affidavit to this extent that KRUSHNAJI and KRISHNARAO are the name of the same person and then get it published in the newspaper and the gazette.
