You can legally change your name after marriage in India. The usual process involves three steps. First, prepare a name-change affidavit stating your old name, new name, and reason (marriage). Second, publish the name change in two newspapers. Third, apply for publication in the Gazette of India. After gazette notification, you can update your new name in documents like Aadhaar, PAN, passport, and bank records. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
