A Name Change Affidavit is a legal document that declares a person’s change of name. It is often required for government records, banks, passport offices, and educational institutions to update your identity.
To create a name change affidavit for a passport in India, you need to draft the affidavit on stamp paper, get it attested by a notary or magistrate, and then submit it to the passport office along with other supporting documents like proof of identity, address, and newspaper publication (if required).
No, an affidavit is not enough. This is a common and critical misconception. An affidavit is only the first step and a personal declaration. To have your new name legally recognized by government departments, banks, and academic institutions, you must also publish a notice in local newspapers and the official Gazette of India. The Gazette Notification is the final, legally accepted proof of your name change.
