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.

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?
