To change a minor child’s name, parents must first prepare an affidavit stating the new name and reason for change. Then publish the name change in two newspapers and apply for publication in the Gazette of India. After gazette notification, update the new name in documents such as school records, Aadhaar, passport, and other identity records. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
