What we help you with

1) Affidavit for Name Change

Professionally drafted affidavit with correct format, statements and verification to avoid rejection.

2) Newspaper Publication

Ad content drafting + guidance for publishing in a suitable newspaper (print or e-paper, as applicable).

3) Gazette Guidance (If Needed)

Where Gazette is required for a “major” change, we guide end-to-end documentation and submission flow.

Documents required (after divorce)

  • Divorce Decree / Divorce Order
  • Aadhaar Card
  • PAN Card
  • Passport-size Photograph
  • Marriage Certificate (if available / if asked for a specific update)

We’ll confirm the exact set based on your case (maiden name revert / full name change / spelling correction).

Step-by-step process

1

Share details on WhatsApp

Old name, new name, and basic document photos. We verify everything before drafting.

2

Affidavit drafting + approval

You review the draft. We finalize after your confirmation.

3

Newspaper ad drafting

We create clean ad text and guide the publishing step.

4

Gazette (if required) + ID updates

Where needed, we support Gazette documentation. Then we guide Aadhaar/PAN/Passport update flow.

Do you always need Gazette after divorce?
Not in every case. For some updates, an affidavit + newspaper may be enough, but for major name changes and many official updates, Gazette is commonly required. Share your case and we’ll tell you the correct route.
