A.Dear client,
Go to you local Notary and make an affidavit regarding change of your name. You have to mention therein your specific reason for changing your name.
It is necessary to have two witnesses sign the affidavit after printing it on simple stamp paper. You must get it approved by two officers of the rank of a gazetted officer to meet the requirements of the law.
