hello

      you need to first get a marriage certificate, which means you need to legally get your marriage registered. You will have to download a form from your state government’s website and submit it at Sub Registrar Office. You will have to submit an array of photocopies of documents like Aadhar Card, PAN card etc., whose list you can find on the government’s website. Please note that marriages in India are registered under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955.

You need to visit a registered notary and ask for an affidavit for a name change after marriage. An affidavit is basically a stamp paper notifying your intention of changing your name to a new one along with the details of previous name, a new name and the reason for a change in name.

You need to then get proof of your name change after marriage. This means that you need to have a statement made by a third party that says that you have changed your name. Although it is the third party, you need to submit the proclamation yourself. You need to do two things for this:

One submits a newspaper advertisement in at least two popular local newspapers stating that you have changed your name in the presence of a notary.

Make sure you keep a few copies of the entire newspaper with you once it is published.

The second thing is that you need to make an announcement of the name change after marriage in the Gazette of India. For that, you need to submit an application form for a name change to the Department of Publications, which works under the Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India. Gazette of India is an official government journal published by the government. 

Once you are done with all the above steps, all you have to do is make the necessary changes at all the other places, like at your bank, where you may need to change your signature as a result of your name change after marriage. You will also have to make an application for a new PAN Card, Aadhar Card, etc. A uniform change at all the places with a record of the name will help in the long run.

She can execute an affidavit with both the names incorporated in it.

This notarised affidavit may be supported with marriage certificate.

Thus you can mention in the affidavit the name proposed to be called after marriage, which will be an additional documentary evidence for aadhar  etc

One can change name and address at any point of time by making an affidavit before the Magistrate and then make a paper publication.

Once you do that you can on that basis apply for change of name and address in the documents you wish to make change.

The marriage certificate will also help to do that.
