Passport Seva delivers passport services in India. Here's how name changes, mismatches and blank surnames are handled.
Passport Seva is the platform through which passport services are delivered in India, under the Ministry of External Affairs. The passport is one of the strictest documents for names, because it is checked against your other records and, for travel, against foreign immigration systems.
A Gujarat Gazette can establish one consistent name — or a proper given-name and surname structure — which you then submit as supporting proof. It helps make your application clean and consistent.
We draft the Gazette to match the records the passport office checks and guide you on aligning Aadhaar and PAN first. See our passport name change service and the passport-on-hold and maiden-name problem pages.
Tell us your situation and we'll guide you on the right documentation — including whether a Gazette is even needed.

Changing your name? We publish it in the Gujarat Gazette, start to finish — ₹3,000 all-inclusive (Express ₹5,500), published within 60 working days or a 100% refund.
Normal plan: your published Gujarat Gazette within 60 working days. Express: within 30 working days — counted from the working day after full payment is received and your application number is generated, and we confirm your exact end date in writing. Working days are days the Gazette Department, Rajkot is open; Sundays, 2nd and 4th Saturdays and Government of Gujarat public holidays are not counted. If we miss your window you get a 100% refund of your invoice within 24 hours — no deduction for the Government fee, e-stamp, notary or drafting — and we still deliver your Gazette at no further service charge. In practice most of our filed gazettes publish within about 15 days of filing. The full terms are sent with your quote, before you pay.
