Name Change in Indore: the process in Madhya Pradesh
Registration and legal formalities are governed at the state level, so the exact law, portal and fees for Indore follow Madhya Pradesh's rules. Here's how it works.
Governing law. No single statute; established administrative practice — a notarised affidavit, public notice via newspaper, and notification in the Madhya Pradesh State Gazette published by the Controller, Government Printing & Stationery Department, MP (Government Press), Bhopal.
How name change works in Madhya Pradesh
- Draft and notarise an affidavit stating the old name, new name and reason on stamp paper
- Publish the name-change notice in two newspapers (one Hindi/regional and one English)
- Prepare the Gazette publication request with the affidavit, ID/address proof, newspaper cuttings and soft copy
- Submit the request and fee to the MP Government Printing Press (Gazette section), Bhopal
- The Press processes and publishes the change in the Madhya Pradesh State Gazette
- Obtain the Gazette copy/extract as proof and update other records (bank, PAN, Aadhaar etc.)
Documents required in Madhya Pradesh
- Notarised name-change affidavit on non-judicial stamp paper
- Identity proof (Aadhaar, PAN, passport or voter ID)
- Address proof (utility bill, Aadhaar or similar)
- Copies of the newspaper advertisements (one regional/Hindi and one English daily)
- Passport-size photographs
- Completed Gazette publication request/proforma and the soft copy (CD/email)
- Gazette publication fee payment proof
Good to know in Madhya Pradesh: Gazette notification is strongly recommended (often required for passport, government employment and major record updates). Minors' name changes are done by parents/guardians. Exact fee and submission mode (CD vs email) are set by the MP Government Press and change periodically.
