Newspaper Advertisement for Name Change

Kai states me naam badalne ke liye 1 English + 1 regional language newspaper me ad dena zaroori hota hai.

Hum aapka ad matter bilkul sahi legal format mein banate hain jisme aapka old name, new name, address, date of affidavit, aur relevant details mention hoti hain. Fir hum suitable newspaper select karke aapka ad publish karwate hain.

  • English + regional (Marathi, Hindi, etc.) newspaper options.
  • Weekend editions / higher visibility placement suggestions.
  • Original newspaper copies or e-paper proof for Gazette use.

Galat format ya incomplete ad kabhi-kabhi department accept nahi karta. Isi liye hum ready-made legally acceptable format use karte hain.

Sample Ad Format

Legal ad copy template commonly used for Gazette submissions.

I, <Old Name>, residing at <Address>, have changed my name to <New Name> vide affidavit dated <Date>. Hereafter, I shall be known as <New Name> for all purposes.
