Changing of name from maiden name to new name is common and hence is part of the marriage registration process itself. However your case is different. Here, it will amount to change of name as such. Therefore first take action for change of your name following the undermentioned steps:-
- Get an Affidavit made and executed for change of name.
- Get the change published in newspaper.
- Get the change of name notified in the State Gazette.

After this process please apply to the Marriage Registrar for change of name in the marriage certificate.
