Official process

Name Change in Dehradun: the process in Uttarakhand

Registration and legal formalities are governed at the state level, so the exact law, portal and fees for Dehradun follow Uttarakhand's rules. Here's how it works.

Governing law. No dedicated statute; the process uses the Notaries Act 1952 / Oaths Act 1969 (sworn affidavit), the Indian Stamp Act 1899 as applied in Uttarakhand (stamp duty on the affidavit) and the Uttarakhand Gazette publication framework via the Government Press / Department of Printing & Stationery. The Gazette of India (central) route is an alternative.

Where to applyState route: none for online submission (Government Press, Roorkee handles it; state gazette viewer is read-only at gazettes.uk.gov.in). Central online alternative: Gazette of India e-portal egazette.gov.in.

Government feesStamp paper ~₹10–50; notary ~₹50–200; newspaper ads ~₹1,000–3,000; gazette publication fee ~₹1,100–1,700; total roughly ₹2,500–5,500 if self-done (rates vary).

Typical timelineAffidavit plus newspaper a few days to ~a week; gazette publication ~2–4 weeks; end-to-end realistically 3–6 weeks.

Local offices in Dehradun: Sub-Registrar — Sub-Registrar Dehradun (I–IV) (NGDRS Uttarakhand, registration.uk.gov.in) — by jurisdiction. Family Court — Family Court, Dehradun (District Court complex, Haridwar Road, near Prince Chowk).

How name change works in Uttarakhand

Prepare and swear the affidavit on stamp paper and have it notarized
Publish a name-change advertisement in two newspapers (typically one local/Hindi and one English)
Retain original newspaper copies
Compile the application file (affidavit, IDs, address proof, clippings, photos, form, soft copy)
Submit to the Government Press, Roorkee (state route) in person/by post, or online via the Gazette of India portal (central route)
Department reviews and publishes the notification in the Gazette; receive/download the published copy

Documents required in Uttarakhand

Notarized affidavit on non-judicial stamp paper
Identity proof (Aadhaar/passport/voter ID/PAN)
Address proof (utility bill/rent agreement/Aadhaar)
Original newspaper clippings of the two published advertisements
Two passport-size photographs
Filled gazette publication request form and a soft copy of the application/documents

Good to know in Uttarakhand: Government Press, Roorkee handles the state gazette — do not confuse it with the central Department of Publication in Delhi cited by many aggregators. The state gazette site is for viewing only. A name change does not auto-update Aadhaar/PAN/passport; each must be updated separately. For minors, parents/guardians apply.

Questions

Name Change FAQs

Do I need a gazette notification, or is an affidavit enough?

An affidavit alone is enough for some purposes, but a gazette notification is the strongest, most widely accepted proof of a name change and is often required for passports and government records.

Can I change my name after marriage with this?

Yes. A name change after marriage is one of the most common cases — we handle the affidavit, publication and gazette so you can update your documents.

Which documents can I update afterwards?

Once complete, you can update your Aadhaar, PAN, passport, bank accounts, driving licence and other official records.
