Hi, you should file an application in Annexure-I to the District Magistrate (Deputy Commissioner) by enclosing documents such as two latest passport size colour photographs, two certificates issued by Gazetted Officer, applicant’s affidavit on
non-judicial stamp paper of ten rupees attested by Notary Public stating reasons for seeking change of name, educational certificates of Class-I to Class-X if any, attested by the Gazetted Officer and in case of illiterate person any other proof of name and age such as ration card, voter identity card, electricity bill, water bill etc., attested by the Gazetted Officer, Certificate from local Police Station certifying that there is no adverse/criminal record during last five years, certificate from an Astrologer/Numerologist in case a request for change of name is sought on such reasons.
Then the District Magistrate after inquiry as he thinks fit will issue order in form Annexure-2. Thereafter, the applicant will have to send an application along with the order of the District Magistrate to the Commissioner of Government Printing Press for publication on payment of requisite fee and the same has to be published in the State Gazette as private advertisement. In case of minor applicant, parents or guardian can apply for change of name of the child in Annexure-3 and in case the applicant is a Government servant he has to apply in Annexure-4 by following same procedures as mentioned above.
