Where you'll use it (disclose before drafting)

Clean-update tip: your maiden name in the Gazette should match your existing records exactly, so authorities can link the old and new names smoothly.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don't have a marriage certificate?
A joint husband-and-wife affidavit is commonly used instead, alongside the Gazette. It's a well-established route, prepared at an additional cost we disclose in advance.
Do I have to take my husband's surname?
No. You can add his name as a middle name, take his surname, or both. Tick the option you want and we'll draft accordingly.
Which records should I update first afterwards?
Aadhaar and PAN first, then passport and bank β€” see our post-Gazette update tracker.
