Yes, you can legally change your full name and also remove your middle name. The procedure generally involves preparing a name change affidavit, publishing the change in newspapers (where applicable), and applying for publication in the Official Gazette, followed by updating your Aadhaar, PAN, Passport, Bank records and other documents. The exact procedure may vary depending on your State and the documents involved. If you need guidance regarding the complete name change process or assistance with preparing the affidavit and other documents, you may share your existing ID proofs through the WhatsApp option available on my profile. After reviewing the documents, I can guide you on the complete legal procedure.
