Name Change in Hyderabad: the process in Telangana
Registration and legal formalities are governed at the state level, so the exact law, portal and fees for Hyderabad follow Telangana's rules. Here's how it works.
Governing law. No dedicated statute; an administrative/customary procedure with publication in the Telangana State Gazette providing the official record. Administered by the Commissionerate of Printing, Stationery & Stores Purchase (Telangana Government Press), Chanchalguda, Hyderabad (Part II for change-of-name).
How name change works in Telangana
- Prepare and notarise the affidavit on stamp paper
- Publish the notice in two newspapers (one English, one Telugu) and retain dated clippings
- Fill the Change of Name Application Form (TG e-Gazette / MeeSeva), correct category
- Compile affidavit, clippings, ID, address proof, photos and soft copy
- Submit to the TG e-Gazette portal or in person at the Commissionerate; pay the fee
- Government verification
- Publication in the Telangana State Gazette (Part II); download the gazette as the certificate
Documents required in Telangana
- Notarised name-change affidavit on non-judicial stamp paper
- Newspaper clippings from two papers (one English + one Telugu)
- Proof of identity (Aadhaar / passport / voter ID) and address
- Passport-size photographs (2–3)
- Completed Change of Name Application Form (correct category template)
- Soft copy of the application and documents
- Category-specific extras: Tahsildar/Magistrate certificate, police verification, departmental NOC, guardian consent / marriage certificate as applicable
Good to know in Telangana: State vs Central gazette is key: the Telangana State Gazette suffices for most state records, but passport and many central/PAN purposes prefer a Gazette of India notification (a separate, costlier track). Two newspapers (English + Telugu) standard; keep originals. Category matters. The published gazette PDF is the load-bearing certificate.

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.

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.
