01-Aug-2023 (In Documentation Law)
My name is surbhi Kumari and i recently got married now i want to change my name and add my husband's name and title wid my name i.e. surbhi shashank dwivedi. I want to change/ update all my legal documents like pan, aadhar voter with that name. What procedure do i have to follow for that. And how much time it will take.
In this case you need to make an affidavit.
Normally, such an affidavit would be drafted by a lawyer so the deponent must approach a lawyer with the documents where his/her name has been incorrectly printed. The lawyer then drafts an affidavit for you, prints it on Stamp paper and gets you to swear it before an official with the power to witness an oath.
This method may not be suitable for everyone especially folks who are super busy. LegalDesk offers ready to use, pre-drafted agreements that can be created in a few minutes. All you need to do is fill in your details and then do a thorough review. After that, you can either print it yourself on Stamp paper or you can let us handle that part and send you a Stamp paper printed copy.
When Do You Need To Make Name Change Affidavit
There are many cases when you need to make an affidavit to handle name discrepancies.
1. Name differs in certificates issues in school or colleges.
2. Middle or last name is missing
3. Name is misspelt by mistake or during translation from local language to English
4. Initial is missing or not expanded
5. You just what to change your name for numerological reasons
6. Name change after marriage
7. Name change after divorce, change in religion, or personal preferences
This affidavit should be used when your name has been differently entered in various documents due to some errors like deletion of a letter or addition of any letter etc. If you are changing your name and discarding the old name, please use our Affidavit for Change of Name
What Should Be Included In The Affidavit?
Ideally, an affidavit for one and the same person should include the following details:
1. The original name of the deponent
2. Changed name of the deponent
3. Document in which the change occurs
4. Deponent’s relevant personal details
5. Declaration stating that there is no fraud or misrepresentation in the affidavit
How To Make It Legally Enforceable And Valid?
The procedure to make this affidavit legally valid is no different from that of validating other affidavits. The deponent must prepare the affidavit and print it on Stamp paper of recommended value and swear before an official who has the authority to witness and validate oaths. Once both the deponent and the official who witnessed the oath signs the affidavit, it is considered legally valid.
