A.Dear Client,
Freedom of religion is one of the fundamental rights guaranteed by Articles 15 and 25 of the Indian Constitution. This means that citizens are free to adopt their religion according to their desires, beliefs, etc. The documents required for change or conversion of religion include a notarized Affidavit, Identification Card -Aadhaar Card or Voter ID, Proof of Address - Aadhaar Card or Ration Card, a single passport-size photo, and a duly signed application with all details of the old and new religions, the old name, current address, contact information, and the reason for the change of religion. A change of religion must be notified in the official Gazette of India so that it can be changed in all legal documents. Advertisements are required in widely circulated local or national newspapers so that the public does not oppose the change.

A.Dear client, if you want to change to islam then, you are required to visit a mosque in the locality and take Shahada in the presence of a Maulvi and two major witnesses. Once the Shahada is performed, the Maulvi will issue an Islam conversion certificate on the letterhead of the mosque, which is called a Shahada certificate. This document includes the date and the details of the witnesses present. Once you have received the conversion certificate, ypu can start practising Islam. And finally have to get a gazette notification by submitting that certificate to the government.
