Gujarat's cultural capital and the city where our own office sits, near Chhani Jakatnaka. From the Sayajirao-era boulevards of the old city to the industrial estates at Nandesari and the campuses of MS University, we help Vadodara residents put their names right — in person or online.

Vadodara is unusual among the places we serve because it is home — our office is in the city, near Chhani Jakatnaka, which makes us the natural first stop for residents who would rather sit across a desk than send documents by phone. The city itself is a blend of the courtly and the industrial: the palaces and gardens of the Gaekwad era and MS University on one side, the chemical and engineering estates of Nandesari, Makarpura and the GIDC belt on the other.
That mix shapes the work. University students and academics need name records aligned before they travel or take up posts; families in the older wards handle marriage, surname and property matters; and the industrial belt brings the familiar EPFO and PAN–Aadhaar mismatches of a large salaried and wage workforce. Because we are local, many of these clients simply walk in, though a great many still prefer the convenience of WhatsApp.
One point we make to every Vadodara caller: being in our own city changes nothing about the Gazette itself. It is a statewide publication, recorded identically wherever you live — being local just makes meeting us easy. And as always, if your case needs only a direct correction, we will tell you so rather than sell you a Gazette.
Few of our districts contain such a spread under one city — a major university, a heritage core, and a heavy-industry corridor. A professor updating a passport, a Manjalpur family reverting a surname, and a Nandesari plant worker fixing an EPFO record might all reach us in the same afternoon. Being on the ground here lets us handle the walk-ins and the digital cases side by side, and it keeps our sense of what Vadodara residents actually need firmly grounded.
Within the city, we help residents from Alkapuri, Sayajigunj, Fatehgunj and Gotri through to Manjalpur, Gorwa, Karelibaug and the Waghodia Road and Chhani belts near our office. The kind of case often tracks the area: the university and Alkapuri professional pockets bring passport and student name alignment; the older wards bring marriage, surname and property matters; and the Makarpura and Nandesari GIDC corridors bring EPFO and PAN–Aadhaar corrections for their workforce.
Across the wider district we regularly assist residents of Padra, Dabhoi, Karjan, Savli, Sinor and Waghodia. Being our home base, Vadodara is the one place where walking in is genuinely easy — but for anyone who prefers it, or who is out in the talukas, the same case runs smoothly over WhatsApp from start to finish.
Every change-of-name application carries a District/Taluka/Village, and you will need the same value again when you search for your published entry. Vadodara is one of only eight places in Gujarat listed twice on the portal — and people from the Chhota Udaipur belt hit a second trap on top of it.
| Entry, exactly as it is written | Choose it if you live… |
|---|---|
| VADODARA (MUNICIPAL CORPORATION) | Inside the Vadodara Municipal Corporation area — Alkapuri, Sayajigunj, Fatehgunj, Gotri, Manjalpur, Karelibaug, Chhani, Waghodia Road and the rest of the city. |
| VADODARA | In Vadodara district but outside the corporation — Padra, Karjan, Savli, Waghodia, Dabhoi, Sinor and Desar. |
| CHHOTA UDAIPUR | Chhota Udaipur, Bodeli, Sankheda, Naswadi, Kwant or Jetpur Pavi. These were part of Vadodara district until the 2013 reorganisation and are now their own district — the portal follows the current boundaries, not the old ones. |
People who grew up thinking of Bodeli or Sankheda as “Vadodara side” regularly file, or search, under Vadodara and then find nothing. If your address falls in the Chhota Udaipur belt, use the CHHOTA UDAIPUR entry. If you are unsure, clear the district box entirely and search on your mobile number alone — that always works.
We are based in Vadodara ourselves, at K-117, Hare Krishna Complex, Chhani Jakatnaka Circle. If you would rather bring your papers in person rather than send anything, you are welcome to walk in, Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
People look for a “Gazette office in Vadodara” and do not find one, because there isn’t one to find. The Gujarat Government Gazette is produced by the Directorate of Government Printing, Stationery & Publications, whose Government Photo Litho Press sits at Rajkot. Your application is filed online and processed centrally, wherever in Gujarat you live. Nothing about being in Vadodara requires you to travel — and nothing about it makes the process slower.
Several national websites publish pages titled “Central Gazette name change in Vadodara”. For a resident of Gujarat changing their name for Gujarati and Indian records, the instrument that applies is the Gujarat State Gazette, published by the Government of Gujarat. We do not offer a Central Gazette service and we would rather say so plainly than sell you the wrong thing. If your case genuinely needs the Central route, we will tell you and point you to it.
