Official process

Name Change in Jaipur: the process in Rajasthan

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

Governing law. No dedicated statute — a common-law process validated by publication in the Rajasthan Rajpatra (Rajasthan Gazette), published by the Department of Printing & Stationery via the Government Central Press, Jaipur. Three pillars: a notarised affidavit on stamp paper, newspaper publication and gazette notification.

Where to applyREAMS — Rajasthan E-Archival Management System reams.rajasthan.gov.in/PrintingStationary/Index; apply via sso.rajasthan.gov.in → Gazette Notification. NOT the central egazette.gov.in (which many commercial sites wrongly cite for Rajasthan).
Government feesStamp paper ~₹10–50; notary ~₹100–500; newspaper ads ~₹1,000–3,000 total. Citizen gazette fee widely quoted ~₹1,100 (adult)/₹1,700 (minor) — commercial estimates, not confirmed officially; the exact rate is in the 'Fee Office Order 2025' on REAMS. DD payee: 'Superintendent, Govt. Central Press, Jaipur'.
Typical timelineAffidavit same day; newspaper 2–7 days; gazette typically ~3–4 weeks after complete submission (up to 4–8 weeks with backlog).
Local offices in Jaipur: Sub-Registrar — Numbered Sub-Registrar offices, Jaipur (IGRS Rajasthan / e-Panjiyan) — by zone/area. Family Court — Family Court, Jaipur (Lal Kothi area), under the Jaipur district judiciary.

How name change works in Rajasthan

  1. Prepare the affidavit on stamp paper and have it notarised
  2. Publish the change in two newspapers and keep the cuttings
  3. SSO login → REAMS → Ordinary Gazette (Citizen) → Citizen Name Change; fill the MS Word template; upload affidavit, ID, Aadhaar (and cuttings/photos)
  4. For paid category, send the Demand Draft plus hard copy to the Government Central Press, Jaipur
  5. Department verifies and publishes in the Rajasthan Gazette (searchable online)
  6. Download the published gazette copy and update Aadhaar, PAN, passport, bank, voter ID etc.

Documents required in Rajasthan

  • Notarized affidavit (self-declaration with reason)
  • Self-attested ID proof and Aadhaar
  • Newspaper advertisement cuttings
  • e-gazette MS Word template / application form and passport photos
  • Government employees: a bond plus departmental NOC
  • Minors: birth certificate, parents'/guardians' Aadhaar + PAN + photos, guardian-signed affidavit

Good to know in Rajasthan: For private individuals, affidavit + newspaper is often enough for everyday updates; the gazette is the strongest proof and effectively mandatory for government employees and high-assurance updates (passport, govt records). Online flow is not fully end-to-end for paid categories (DD + hard-copy step remains). Rajasthan's office is the Government Central Press, C-Scheme, Jaipur — not the Delhi central office some sites cite.

Questions

Name Change FAQs

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.
