What we do, and — just as importantly — what is outside our control. Honesty here protects your trust.
Last updated: July 2026
Harsiddhi Services is a professional documentation and facilitation consultancy. We help you prepare, draft and file the documentation for a Gujarat Gazette name change and related matters, and we guide you through the process from enquiry to updating your records.
We do not issue the Gazette, and we are not a government department. The decision to publish, accept, verify or require further documents rests solely with the relevant government authority, under its own rules. Our fee covers the preparation and processing of your documentation, not the outcome.
Estimated processing times are indicative only. Government processing depends on workload, verification, public holidays, technical issues and administrative procedures. The Express package prioritises the stages we control but cannot speed up the Government Press's own schedule.
We provide documentation and facilitation services and general guidance, not legal advice or representation. Where a matter is a genuine legal dispute — for example a contested identity, ownership or succession question — it may require a court and a qualified legal professional, and we will tell you so honestly rather than take on work that isn't the right fix.
We are not responsible for errors in documents issued by third parties (such as a birth certificate, marriage certificate, school certificate, passport, PAN or Aadhaar). Errors in such documents may need to be corrected by the issuing authority before Gazette processing.
Our Gujarat Gazette service relates to the Gujarat Gazette. Where your requirement concerns another state's or country's process, we will tell you honestly whether and how we can help.
If your situation is a simple correction the concerned department can handle directly, or if a Gazette is not required for your purpose, we will say so. We would rather protect your trust than sell an unnecessary service.
Not every change can go into the Gazette. The Government does not publish the six kinds of request below, so if your case is one of them, a Gujarat Gazette is not the route — however much anyone offers to “arrange” it. Here is the list in the Government’s own Gujarati, with our English translation.
What to do instead: each of these has its own route — for example a deceased person’s record is corrected through the Registrar or the relevant office, and a foreign citizen’s name follows their own passport and the OCI re-issue process. Tell us your case before you pay anyone; if a Gazette will not be published for it, we will say so plainly.

Changing your name? We publish it in the Gujarat Gazette, start to finish — ₹3,000 all-inclusive (Express ₹5,500), published within 60 working days or a 100% refund.
Normal plan: your published Gujarat Gazette within 60 working days. Express: within 30 working days — counted from the working day after full payment is received and your application number is generated, and we confirm your exact end date in writing. Working days are days the Gazette Department, Rajkot is open; Sundays, 2nd and 4th Saturdays and Government of Gujarat public holidays are not counted. If we miss your window you get a 100% refund of your invoice within 24 hours — no deduction for the Government fee, e-stamp, notary or drafting — and we still deliver your Gazette at no further service charge. In practice most of our filed gazettes publish within about 15 days of filing. The full terms are sent with your quote, before you pay.
