Select Your Reason for Name Change
Why 30% of DIY Applications Get Rejected?
The Gazette office returns applications for very specific reasons. Here’s what trips people up — and how we prevent every one of them.
Wrong stamp paper denomination or missing notarization
Affidavits executed on incorrect value stamp paper, or not notarized by a registered notary, are rejected outright.
Newspaper not approved by the Gazette
office
Only specific, government-approved English newspapers
qualify.
Gazette specimen in wrong format
The exact wording, format, and layout of the gazette matter is prescribed.
Spelling inconsistencies across documents
Your name and other details must match identically across documents.
Wrong Gazette type (State vs Central)
Many applicants publish in the State Gazette incorrectly.
Missing documents or incorrect ID proofs
One missing document = full rejection.
State Gazette vs Central Gazette
Changing your name comes with a lot of paperwork and verification. Alongside this also comes
confusion between the central gazette and the state gazette. While both serve as government
records, the process, acceptance, and scope can differ significantly.

Passport
Name update accepted

Aadhaar & PAN
Identity correction

Bank Records
Account name change

Certificates
Education & employment
State Gazette Name Change
The State Gazette Publication is made available by the concerned State Government in which the applicant belongs. This form of publication is generally employed for identification purposes at the local level in the state.
- Conducted by various State Governments individually
- The guidelines for the procedure differ from one state to another
- Generally recognized for regional identification purposes
- The duration of processing varies according to the authority of the particular state
- Some states permit publications only for their state residents
Central Gazette Name Change
The Central Gazette change of name announcement is made by the Government of India via the Department of Publication. Such an announcement gets greater recognition in India and is often favoured when making changes to official documents, passports, and other national-level identity information.
- Officially published under the Government of India
- Accepted throughout all states and government departments
- Commonly used for Name Change, passport and PAN card update
- Regarded as more universally recognized for applications made from outside the country too
Our Recommendation: In general, the Central Gazette should be preferred by the majority of individuals since it enjoys wider recognition and
acceptance across the country. In general, it is accepted in the passport office, banks, colleges, and other governmental authorities without any
problem. Although the State Gazette might fulfillcertain requirements locally, the Central Gazette would prove to be convenient in the long run,
especially in case you need to get your documents revised at a later point in time.
