Sir, My name is chaman sharma. 20 years old. I am a CA student. I want to change my name. Can you please guide me in this regard. I know the general procedure for changing name, but very confused about the consequences. some people say it is very risky as you have passed out your 12th standard with this name and there would be many problems in future in getting jobs and all. And also in changing my name in my aadhaar card, driving licence and all.. Please can you help me in this matter.
You can change your name by notification in official gazette and 2 local newspapers and affidavit in support of change of name
2) it is better you continue with your old name
3) you will have to change your name in Aadhar card , driving licence etc if you change your name
You can change the same through gazette notification of govt. You can nowadays do the same online
You have to file a declaration suit in civil court. In that ypu will declare your change of name.
On basis of that court order get the name changed in all the documents like 10th 12th Certificates and IDs...
You dont listen to the ill-advise of many people in this regard.
If you have decided to change your name from this name to the desired name, you can very well proceed following the procedures that are applicable for change of name which you have mentioned that you are aware of it.
After the changed name has been published in the government gazette publication you may keep the cop[y of the publication along with your certificates so that you can handle all the problems effectively that may arise in this regard
Yes changing of name under ordinary circumstances is not advisable due to complications arising out of discrepancy on name of a same person.
However if you still want to do so you can do this by way of making an affidavit from a first class magistrate and then making a newspaper publication.
1. Change of name is not difficult. What is difficult is to incorporate the changed name in all the documents.
2. You can incorporate your changed name in all your documents of identity such as Passport, Adhaar, Driving Licence, PAN Card and Voter ID. However, the name cannot be changed in the matriculation and 12th documents as these documents were prepared and issued on the basis of your name which existed in school records.
If your 10th and 12th educational certificate name is Chaman Sharma than continue with the same name do not change. let it be on paper same name and keep your pet name different which you like so ask all your family members and friends to call you by pet name only.
So many people have two names in the their life and they are called by the both names at a same time by two different people.
Changing name is easy, but, its consequences are tedious. You have to face challenges in every sphere, as your certificates of education will not tally with your changed name. I will advise, not to change name.
Sir for changing name you will have to make a notification in the official gazette and giving add in 2 local newspapers along with the supporting affidavit.
As far as the consequences are concerned, your all government documents can be changed with the new name except your 12th certificate. You can always have the official gazette notification along with the 12th certificate which will clarify the Chaman lal alias (new name) are the same persons.
it is advisable that change your name only, if it is very important for you or it is unavoidable.
Don't worry brother! It is your choice what name you want for yourself.
Once you change name as per your choice fulfulling and following all legal procedures then that new name will be legally acceptable for every documents in future.
I would suggest not to alter your name from board marksheets. You need to provide documents supporting your name change and that will be enough.
For aadhaar PAN Passport and every other documents, your new name will be updated easily.
- If you want to change your name , then what about your passed out certificates .
- As per rule , one can change or correct name in his certificates & Mark-sheet within the 2 years from the date of passing the same.
- Hence, if you will change your name in other documents , then may face problems for finding a job in future.
- After executing an affidavit and publishing in the news paper and finally after publishing in the official Gazette , you change your name in all the documentary proofs like adhar card etc.

Change of name in academic certificates will be long process but can apply for issue of duplicate certificates with changed name. Otherwise G notification will solve the name discrepancy.
Approach State Government Gazette office to change of name process.
After the process ,publish the Gazette in two Newspapers (Local and National) .
After publication, carry on corrections in all Government documents e.g. PAN, AADHAR.....
Dear Sir,
You may go for the name change and do remember to keep all the documents intact and together so that your justification for the name change can be done easily. Out of many documents, the gazette notification is very necessary documents.
Name can be changed vide an Affidavit. It must be notarised. Thereafter, advertisement in English and in local News paper must be publish. Keep all the documents preserved. Apply with the certified copy of the documents for change of name to the Departments wherever the old name appears.
Yes, who ever advised you, it is correct, it is not risky but, cumbersome process, at each and every place you need to provide supporting document of name change with that of original name.
Further, going forward, if any query is raised by any departmental organization it is difficult and time consuming to explain them.
As far as name change procedure is concerned:
You can get the same published in two local news papers one in vernacular and second one in English language.
Get the same published in Official Gazette alongwith an affidavit which will contain particulars of name change.
Thereafter, you need to get your name changed in Aadhar Card, PAN Card, Driving Licence, Passport etc.
It is advisable to continue with your original name.
There will be no problem as you can change name in Your marksheets of 10 and 12th as there is limitation of changing name which is 10 years from date of issue of marksheet.
