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.
Send three things on WhatsApp: the name exactly as printed (old and new spelling), the approximate month you filed, and the district. If it is published we send the direct PDF link with the issue date, part and section. If it is not, we say so plainly and give you a realistic window — and we do this whether or not you filed through us.
💬 Ask for a free lookupAnswer 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.

We only recommend a Gazette when it genuinely helps. Here's a general guide; your exact case may differ.
