You have to file a civil suit to get the name changed. Then name change can be effected only through filing a civil suit. When the suit is decreed then the same can be produced before the authorities to effect the same in relevant documents.

You can get your name changed by declaring it in an notarized affidavit and publish it in the newspaper and gazette notification. You can also in the alternative file a suit for declaration of name change before the competent civil court.
