Name Change Help in Mira Road

We help you with the steps for a legal name change — affidavit, newspaper notice and gazette application.

A legal name change is usually done in steps: an affidavit, a notice in newspapers, and an application for publication in the Maharashtra Government Gazette.

We help you prepare each step and explain the order. The gazette office decides on publication. After that, you can update your other documents such as Aadhaar, PAN and passport.
