I need help with some kind of certificate approving the name change in records.Can somebody help with this please.

Besides making paper publication and changing the names elsewhere, by an affidavit, you may publish the same in the government gazette publication to make it more authenticated.

The copy of the gazette publication may be kept along with the other documents where the name has not been changed or could not be changed to prove that you have changed the name officially.

For publication of change of name in the gazette you can approach the government press situated in Bangalore near Kanakpura Road, fill up the challans for the fee to be paid and submit an application with all requisite formalities, give your home address so that they would send the copies of the publication to it which can be secured for all future purposes.
