affidavit can be executed by your mother that Amita Madhukar and Amita anumeha are one and same person

2) better option is to change mother name in your passport

Dear friend,

Just solve your problem,

I am a lawyer by profession, and have followed the below given procedure for changing my own name. Let me use my experience to help you to change your own name.

Follow the below given steps for changing your own name.

Step 1 – Affidavit

Go to you local Notary and make an affidavit regarding change of your name. You have to mention therein your specific reason for changing your name. For example, you may like to change your name after marriage (especially for women), due to astrological or numerological reasons or anything. Recently, one of my friends was going to start his own company who was locally famous in his nickname, and thus he changed his name from Rishabh Agarwal to Saurav Agarwal.

Note: Here is your sample name change affidavit for reference.

Tips: Make a few copies of your affidavit, and preserve the original one carefully. It’s better to scan it, and preserve its electronic copy on your external hard disk as well as on multiple computers.

This affidavit can be used for changing your first or last name and also using the same, you can completely change your name (both first and last name, for example from Rishabh Agarwal to Saurav Verma).

Step 2 – Newspaper Publication

I, Sri ___________________ (old name) have changed my name from __________________ (old name) to ______________ (new name) by affidavit sworn before the Notary Public, ______________ (place) on ___________ (date). Henceforth, I shall be known as _________________ (New Name) for all purposes. ______________ (Name) and _______________ (Complete postal address).

Full Signature

Fill in the blanks with appropriate details and publish it in your local newspaper.

Tips:

You can choose any 2 local newspapers for publishing it. (No need for FrontPage coverage). Although you need only once copy but its better to get ten copies of that newspaper in which your statement is published and preserve it carefully, because it’s now a lifetime issue. It’s better to preserve both the hard and scanned copies of the newspaper.

Step 3 – Gazette Notification

Now for getting your name published in the Official Gazette of your state, for example: “The Delhi Gazette”, you need to do the following things:

1. Visit your local Government Press or the department that mobilizes Gazette notification.

2. Get 2 copies of “Deed Changing Surname Form”. (Fill this form carefully as per the instructions provided therein)

3. If possible get the phone number, or the mobile number of the person of that department who can help you for Gazette Notification.

Verification

You need to send the following documents to the Secretary, Department of Commerce & Transport (Commerce), _________________ (State).

1. Letter to the Secretary, requesting him to allow you to change your name. (Click here to view sample letter)

2. The “Deed Changing Surname Form”

3. 2 True copies of the newspapers in which your name change statement is published.

4. Attested copy of the Name Change Affidavit.

5. A print out of the statement in plain paper that you need to publish in your official Gazette. (Generally Same as your Newspaper Statement)

Dear Sir

please view the following government website.

=======================================================================================

1) affidavit should be on Rs 100 stamp paper

2) it should be duly notarised

3) you should get affidavit drafted by your lawyer

1 Make an affidavit done on this regard from the local first class Magistrate.

2. Thereafter make a newspaper publication or gazette notification .

3. once both the things are done the anomaly with regard to name of your mother will be done way with and your problem would be resolved.

I advice you to do one more thing plus making that affidavit.

Give an advertisement also in the local newspapers about the same.

I can provide you the format of the affidavits plus hundred rs stamp paper would have more credibility in the eye of laws.

But, please be very accurate about the department where you need to go in the immigration department.

The US visa and the passport is given on yourname, wherein your mother's name has been found to be recorded as per the educational certificate.

It will be that only your documents will be verified and not your mother's own document.

There is no necessity for your mother's documents to be produced hence you cannot face any problem in that aspect.

However as an abundant caution you acane get a notarised affidavit stating that your mother's name is one and the same that which is shown in the educational certificate and aadhar card etc.

Is there a format for the Affidavit? If so, please provide some sample formats for the same so that I can get the affidavit made. What is the value of the stamp paper? And do i need to carry the original of the affidavit for the same ?

There is no format or a template for the affidavit.

You can visit any notary public's office and get the affidavit prepared at his office itself, get it and do the needful.

A format for the affidavit is given below:

Before the Judicial Magistrate, Court Name

This is done to publically declare the change in the name so that if a conflict arises later, you have an official declaration of your name change.

Preserve the copies of the newspapers very carefully as well its scanned copies.

A sample copy of the format is as follows:
