Changing your name officially in India is a structured yet straightforward process. Here’s how you can do it step by step:
Name correction services are increasingly in demand across India due to spelling errors, abbreviations, or incorrect details in official documents such as Birth Certificates, Aadhaar, PAN, Passports, Driving Licences, Educational Certificates, or Service/Pension Records.
Whether the mistake is minor or significant, professional name correction consultants can help you navigate the legal and procedural steps to correct your name across all government and institutional records.
Even a small name error can cause major inconveniences. Incorrect or mismatched names across documents may lead to:
Rejection of job applications or government documents
Bank account or transaction issues
Delays in visa processing and passport issuance
Legal complications in property or court matters
To avoid these problems, it’s essential to correct your name officially through the Government Gazette Notification process.
You can apply for legal name correction if:
You are an Indian citizen.
You have valid government-issued ID proofs (Aadhaar, PAN, Voter ID, etc.).
You possess the original document where the error appears (e.g., Birth Certificate, Passport, or Driving Licence).
You can provide at least one supporting document that shows your correct name.
We provide assistance for name correction in the following documents:
Birth Certificate (including parent’s name corrections)
