I am currently staying in Malaysia and changed my daughter’s name through the Tamil Nadu Gazette. What is the procedure to print a name change ad in the paper? What are all the documents I need to submit and what is the format? I saw about some affidavit. Who should I get it from? Can you please help me? I want to apply for new passport for my daughter from here.
