Marriage Name-Change Preparation Checklist

Tick what you have. A joint husband-and-wife affidavit covers you if there's no marriage certificate.

Core documents

Marriage proof — one of these

Decide the exact change

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.

Prepared as a free preparation aid by GujaratGazette.com (Harsiddhi Services). This is general guidance, not legal advice; your exact requirements are confirmed after we review your documents. We are independent and not affiliated with any government department.

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 — see our post-Gazette update tracker.
