The Gujarat Gazette (ગુજરાત ગેઝેટ) is the Government of Gujarat's official publication. It is printed by the Directorate of Government Printing & Stationery (DGPS), Gandhinagar, and published online as the e-Gazette. Laws, rules, appointments and public notices appear in it — and so do personal name-change notifications, which is why most visitors arrive here. Reading or downloading the Gazette itself is free. GujaratGazette.com is an independent guide and documentation service run by Harsiddhi Services, Vadodara — it is not a government website.
Answer two quick questions. We'll give you an honest indication — and we're upfront when a Gazette isn't required.
A Gujarat Gazette name change is the process of publishing your change of name in the official Government Gazette. The published notification acts as recognised documentary proof of your name change, which many authorities accept when you update records such as your Aadhaar, PAN, passport, bank accounts and educational certificates. It is issued through the Government Press and is typically supported by an affidavit and, in most name-change cases, a newspaper advertisement.
Pick the reason that fits you, and we'll take you straight to the exact process — no confusion, no wrong turns.
From marriage and divorce to spelling corrections and NRI cases — we help you choose the right process and prepare it accurately.
Update your surname and name across records after marriage or divorce, with the correct affidavit and supporting documents.
Guardian-supported name changes for minors, including school-record corrections and adoption-related cases.
Fix mismatched spellings, blank surnames, initials and name-order differences across your documents.
Guidance for passport objections, name mismatches and blank-surname / FNU situations before or during your application.
Understand when a Gazette helps your Aadhaar or PAN update — and how to draft it so the update goes smoothly.
Resolve name mismatches affecting EPFO claims, property records, bank KYC, visas and overseas documentation.
We only recommend a Gazette when it genuinely helps. Here's a general guide; your exact case may differ.

People often confuse these three. Here's a simple, general comparison — your specific case may vary.
| Aspect | Gazette Notification | Affidavit | Court Order |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | Official government publication of a name change | A sworn declaration before a notary | A formal order issued by a court |
| Typical use | Recognised proof of a name change for updating documents | Supporting declaration, often used alongside a Gazette | Specific legal matters or where a court order is required |
| Issued by | Government Press | Prepared by applicant, notarised | Judicial court |
| Common for name change | Yes, for most formal name changes | Yes, as a supporting document | Usually only in specific circumstances |
| Newspaper ad | Commonly required | Not applicable | Not applicable |
This table is for general understanding. The right documents depend on your case and the authority you're dealing with.
A starting point for a typical name-change case. Tick items as you gather them — we'll give you a precise, case-specific list after reviewing your details.
⚠️ Requirements vary by case. Some situations need an additional affidavit (for example, a marriage name change without a marriage certificate). We'll confirm your exact list before any work begins.

A Gujarat Government Gazette (Part-II Extraordinary) entry, published by the Government Press with its digital signature — the record widely used as supporting proof of a name change by the Passport Office, EPFO, banks and other authorities, each of which applies its own rules. The sample here is a real Gazette we filed and our client received in August 2026; we've blurred the personal details, because your privacy gets the same treatment.
