Dear Client,
The anomaly or incorrect name of your father that appears differently in different documents may be a cause of dispute in the future. To resolve the issue legally, you need to pursue the following steps. 1) An affidavit is a legal document that is used to state facts under oath. The affidavit should include the applicant's current name, the desired new name, the reason for the surname change, and any other relevant details declaring that the ' A ' and the ' B ' are the same and one identical person. The affidavit should be made on a stamp paper of the appropriate value as per the state where the applicant resides and should be sworn preferably before the first class Judicial Magistrate/Executive Magistrate. 2) The next step in the name change process is to publish a notification in the Gazette of India. The Gazette of India is a publication of the Government of India that contains official government notifications, including name change notifications. The notification should be in the prescribed format and published in at least two local newspapers. 3) After publishing the notification in the Gazette of India, the next step is to make out a name change deed. The name change deed is a legal document that confirms the name change and includes the details of the old and new names. The deed should be made on a stamp paper of the appropriate value as per the state where the applicant resides and should be signed by two witnesses and notarized by a Notary Public. 5) The final step is to submit the name change deed to the relevant authorities for information and records. The applicant may also need to provide additional documents, such as a copy of the Gazette notification and a copy of the affidavit for updating the records. It is essential to follow the correct procedure to ensure that the name change is recognized by the Government and other relevant authorities.
