Name Change in Lucknow: the process in Uttar Pradesh
Registration and legal formalities are governed at the state level, so the exact law, portal and fees for Lucknow follow Uttar Pradesh's rules. Here's how it works.
Governing law. No single statute; common-law practice plus the UP Gazette publication procedure under the Department of Printing and Stationery, UP, with an affidavit under the Notaries Act, 1952 / Oaths Act, 1969 and newspaper publication. Gazette notification is the strongest legal proof.
How name change works in Uttar Pradesh
- Draft and notarise the name-change affidavit on stamp paper
- Publish the advertisement in two newspapers (regional + English)
- Prepare the Gazette application proforma with affidavit, ID/address proofs, photos and CD
- Submit the application to the UP Government Press / Department of Publication and pay the fee
- Department processes and publishes the change in the Uttar Pradesh Gazette
- Obtain the published Gazette copy and update Aadhaar, PAN, bank and other records
Documents required in Uttar Pradesh
- Notarised name-change affidavit on non-judicial stamp paper (~₹10–₹50)

- Address proof (utility bill / Aadhaar / rent agreement)
- Two passport-size photographs
- Original newspaper cuttings (one regional/Hindi and one English daily)
