Gazette Name Change Online Team

Who we are

GazetteNameChangeOnline.in is a private document-preparation service run by [Registered business name] in [City]. We help people change their name in the Gazette of India, Part IV: we work out which guideline applies, prepare the undertaking, proforma, CD and newspaper notice, and check the whole file before you send it. You remain the applicant and send the file to the Department of Publication yourself, as its rules require.

We are not a government body and we are not a law firm. Our guides are general information, not legal advice.

How we research and review every guide

1. Start from the official source. Fees, rules and steps come from the Department of Publication’s change-of-name guidelines, its 2023 office order on rates, its Bharatkosh payment procedure and the search screens on egazette.gov.in.
2. Check the other offices involved. Where a guide covers Passport Seva, UIDAI or the PAN rules, we use those offices’ own documents and link to them.
3. Write it in plain language. We explain each step simply, and where the Department gives specimen wording we reproduce it exactly and mark it as official.
4. Get it reviewed. Our legal reviewer checks each guide against the official guidelines before it is published.
5. Date it and keep it current. Every guide shows the date we last checked it. We review everything every quarter, and whenever the Department of Publication updates its guidelines.
