The First Step to Legally Changing Your Name

Changing your name on government documents is a multi-step legal process that begins with a crucial document: a Name Change Affidavit. This is a sworn legal statement confirming your decision to change your name. Without a properly drafted and notarized affidavit, you cannot proceed with the next steps, such as placing newspaper advertisements or applying for a Gazette Notification, which are mandatory for updating your new name on your passport, PAN card, or Aadhaar.

At DocuPro, we provide a seamless and professional service to help you draft and notarize your legal name change affidavit. We ensure that your affidavit is accurate, legally sound, and compliant with all official requirements, saving you from the complexities of legal drafting and document attestation.
