Name Change in Raipur: the process in Chhattisgarh
Registration and legal formalities are governed at the state level, so the exact law, portal and fees for Raipur follow Chhattisgarh's rules. Here's how it works.
Governing law. No single dedicated statute. The route combines a sworn affidavit (Indian Oaths/Notaries framework), newspaper public notice, and publication in the Chhattisgarh State Gazette by the Directorate of Printing & Stationery. Gazette publication is the government-backed proof for KYC/records updates.
How name change works in Chhattisgarh
- Draft and notarize the name-change affidavit on appropriate stamp paper
- Publish the name-change notice in newspapers (typically one regional + one English)
- Prepare the Gazette application/proforma and assemble affidavit, clippings, ID/address proof, photos and soft copy
- Submit to the Directorate of Printing & Stationery, Raipur, with the prescribed fee
- Department processes and publishes the change in the Chhattisgarh State Gazette
- Obtain the published Gazette copy and update Aadhaar, PAN, bank, education and other records
Documents required in Chhattisgarh
- Notarized name-change affidavit (old name, new name, reason)
- Newspaper clippings of the change notice (typically one regional/Hindi and one English)
- Proof of identity (Aadhaar/PAN/passport); proof of address
- Passport-size photographs
- Filled Gazette application/proforma from the Directorate of Printing & Stationery

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.
