From first enquiry to a published Gazette, here's each step β and an honest explanation of timelines.
A Gujarat Gazette name change follows a logical sequence. Not every case is identical, but the path below is typical.
We review your documents and confirm whether a Gazette is genuinely the right step, or whether a simpler correction will do.
We prepare the affidavit and the Gazette draft, drafted with your intended future use in mind (for example, matching your Aadhaar record if that's the goal).
You review the draft carefully. Nothing is filed until you confirm every detail β because after submission, changes may not be possible.
The affidavit is notarised and, in most name-change cases, a newspaper advertisement is published.
The application is filed with the Government Press and your change is published in the Gazette.
You receive your Gazette and use it to update Aadhaar, PAN, passport and other records β each separately.
Here we have to be honest. The part we control β reviewing, drafting, notary, newspaper and filing β moves quickly, and the Express package prioritises exactly these stages. But publication itself follows the Government Press's own schedule, which varies with workload and public holidays and is outside our control.
Both packages include the same standard documentation, notary, e-stamp, filing and courier. Express (βΉ5,500) prioritises document preparation and filing on our side versus Standard (βΉ3,000); neither can speed up the government's own publication timeline. Newspaper charges are separate.
Tell us your situation and we'll give you honest guidance β including whether a Gazette is actually needed. No pressure, no obligation.
