Frequently Asked Questions
A Name Change Affidavit is a legal declaration made on stamp paper confirming your intention to officially change your name. It is the first step in the name change process in Karnataka, followed by newspaper publication and Gazette notification.
As per government rules, after preparing the name change affidavit, you must publish your old and new names in at least two newspapers — one in the local language and one in English. This creates a public record of your name change.
The process involves: drafting a name change affidavit on stamp paper, getting it notarized, publishing the name change in newspapers, and submitting documents for Gazette notification (if required).
Common documents include Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, Passport, Birth Certificate or School Certificate, two passport-size photographs, and old ID proofs showing your existing name.
The cost depends on the newspapers chosen. On average, it ranges between ₹500 and ₹2,000 per publication in Bangalore.
The complete process — including affidavit preparation, newspaper ads, and Gazette notification — usually takes 30 to 45 working days, depending on verification and documentation.
While the affidavit and newspaper advertisements are mandatory, they are not the final proof. The Gazette Notification serves as the official legal document accepted by all government departments for updating your new name on Aadhaar, PAN, Passport, and other records.
