Change of Name Documentation Updated Nov 2016

I live in Toronto, want to place an ad for name change, do you require an affidavit; if so an affidavit prepared in Toronto is acceptable by Commissioner of Oath? Please respond. I need to publish the ad in Times of India and a local newspaper of Kolkata, West Bengal.

Please know that change of name ads are placed under the Announcement section of all Indian newspapers. In order to start the booking of your ad in Times of India, you need to visit the Times of India Announcement Ad Rates page. Here you must choose the preferred edition/location in order to proceed with the booking.

Then you can compose your ad in the Compose Ad section with the help of Online Change of Name Sample Ads and then preview the same with the Live Ad Preview Feature.
