Name-change advertising

Name-change notices,
how it works.

How to publish a change-of-name notice in India's newspapers — the affidavit you need, the exact wording offices accept, how many papers, the cost, and the proof you submit to the office.

A change-of-name notice is a formality with real stakes — a passport, gazette or bank name change is held up until the office sees it in an established daily. Passport offices often want one English + one regional paper, so the paper you choose and the exact wording matter more than the price.

You arrange the notarised affidavit; we publish the notice exactly as you approve it, at official rates with a lowest-price guarantee. The GST invoice is emailed and — the part offices care about — you can view and save the exact page from the e-paper, or get a PDF, to attach to your application, often in the next edition.

Frequently asked

Change of name questions

It depends on the paper, the city edition and the number of words — a name-change notice is short, so most cost between <strong>₹300 and ₹700</strong>, with GST of 5% added. Pick your paper and city above and the exact rate appears on screen; the price you see is the price you pay, with a lowest-price guarantee.
Booking is fully online — UPI, GPay, PhonePe, cards or net-banking through a secure payment link. Payment confirms your booking, and you get SMS and email confirmation within a minute.
For most name-change notices the office asks for an <strong>affidavit</strong> — usually a notarised or first-class magistrate affidavit, and many authorities will not accept one older than six months. We do not prepare the affidavit; get it from a lawyer or notary first, then book the newspaper notice. If you are unsure what your office needs, ask them before you book.
This is a legal notice, so we publish <strong>exactly what you approve</strong> and do not draft or translate the wording — that keeps it valid. What we do give you is a <strong>ready sample format</strong> to fill in for each common case, and a proof to check before you pay.
Yes — ready formats for the common cases: a self name change, a surname change after marriage, a father's-name or date-of-birth correction on a certificate. Fill in your details, keep it within the word limit, and we show you a proof of exactly how it will print before payment.
Any paper your authority accepts — we book The Times of India, The Indian Express, The Economic Times, Hindustan Times, Vijay Karnataka and 131 newspapers in all, across every language and city. A few papers do not carry name-change notices; we will tell you and suggest an accepted alternative for your city.
It depends on the authority. Many passport offices ask for <strong>two newspapers, often one in English and one in your regional language</strong>; a gazette or school may accept one. We cannot guarantee what your specific office requires, so confirm the number and language with them — then we help you book one or two accordingly.
Most name-change notices can run the next day if booked before that paper's cut-off; the notice also passes a quick editorial approval, which can affect the exact date. Tell us your deadline and we will pick a paper and date that meets it, or tell you honestly if it cannot be done in time.
A newspaper prints several editions, and an edition covers specific districts — a "Delhi edition" may not reach Gurgaon or Greater Noida. Before you pay we show which edition reaches your address, so the published copy is valid where your office is.
You can track your order status, and once it runs you can <strong>view your ad in that newspaper's e-paper</strong> for the exact date and edition — this is the copy passport and gazette offices accept. You can also buy a printed copy from a local newsstand.
First time? Talk to a person.
Our desk explains the affidavit, the format and how many papers you need — no jargon, no upsell.
