You can book the consultation to talk to Advocate Mr. Sethi.

However the procedures for change of name is very simple, you may have to prepare an affidavit stating the change of name from previous to the currently proposed one, give an advertisement in a local newspaper and if necessary get it published in the government gazette publication which will suffice your requirement.

1. You shall have to execute an affidavit before a 1st Class Judicial Magistrate of your area in India affirming that you have changed your name from Mr. X to Mr. Y which is to be recorded by all authorities including passport authorities.

 

2. Thereafter you can send the copy of the said affidavit to all the authorities for amending your name accordingly.

- Generally, the name change post 35 age is very difficult to obtain however if the cause is serious and required for some genuine purpose, you can obtain the same

- You shall have to file the petition in Civil court with requisite documents along with stating the cause of requirement. If the Civil Judge is satisfied with same he/she shall order for the change in name. You are not required to visit the court and lawyers on your behalf can contest the matter.

  3. Submit papers to The Department of Publication
