Answer two quick questions. We'll give you an honest indication — and we're upfront when a Gazette isn't required.
A Gujarat Gazette name change is the process of publishing your change of name in the official Government Gazette. The published notification acts as recognised documentary proof of your name change, which many authorities accept when you update records such as your Aadhaar, PAN, passport, bank accounts and educational certificates. It is issued through the Government Press and is typically supported by an affidavit and, in most name-change cases, a newspaper advertisement.
From marriage and divorce to spelling corrections and NRI cases — we help you choose the right process and prepare it accurately.
Update your surname and name across records after marriage or divorce, with the correct affidavit and supporting documents.
Guardian-supported name changes for minors, including school-record corrections and adoption-related cases.
Fix mismatched spellings, blank surnames, initials and name-order differences across your documents.
Guidance for passport objections, name mismatches and blank-surname / FNU situations before or during your application.
Understand when a Gazette helps your Aadhaar or PAN update — and how to draft it so the update goes smoothly.
Resolve name mismatches affecting EPFO claims, property records, bank KYC, visas and overseas documentation.

| Issued by | Government Press | Prepared by applicant, notarised | Judicial court |
| Common for name change | Yes, for most formal name changes | Yes, as a supporting document | Usually only in specific circumstances |
| Newspaper ad | Commonly required | Not applicable | Not applicable |
