Dear Sir,

Step-I:

Getting an Affidavit

The first step is to submit an Affidavit to a First Class Magistrate/Notary Public/Oath Commissioner in the District court.

An affidavit is basically a written sworn statement of fact voluntarily made by an affiant (the one who makes the statement) under an oath/affirmation administered by a person authorized to do so by law. This document serves as a testimony of your decision and intention to change your name legally.

Every state has different rules for the usage of non-judicial stamp papers for making an affidavit.( E.g. ₹100/-, for Maharashtra.) In most of the states, you will need a stamp paper of a minimal value (Say, ₹10 or ₹20).

Remember, to get a few photo copies of the affidavit with you. If possible, get an electronic copy too and keep it safely. You will also need two passport sized attested photographs with the notary and pasted separately on an A4 paper. You will also need atleast two witnesses along with you to attest the whole process.

You can even use the legal expertise of an advocate for drafting the affidavit properly. A proof of Indian citizenship would also be required to be attested along with the affidavit.
