The newspaper notice your passport office, gazette or bank is asking for — composed, published and proof-delivered. Most filers are done in under five minutes.
A standard change-of-name notice is a short classified — usually 3 lines. Here’s the exact published rate per city, GST shown separately.
Hindustan Times (English) + a regional daily of your choice — the exact two-paper requirement, booked together with one payment and one tear-sheet pack.
Most first-time filers don’t know the sequence. Here it is — what comes before the ad, and what the ad unlocks.
A notary affidavit stating your old name, new name and reason. Don’t have one yet? Use our ready format, or we’ll guide you to a notary.
Hindustan Times covers the English requirement. Add one regional-language daily for the second paper. Both booked together, one payment.
Book by 6 PM and your notice runs in tomorrow’s paper across the city editions you chose.
Once it publishes, view and save your notice from the Hindustan Times e-paper — attach it to your passport, gazette or bank application as proof of publication. Need it emailed or a printed copy? Ask the desk, on request.
No need to leave and ‘figure it out’. Here’s the exact checklist, with formats you can download and fill in minutes.
A notarised affidavit stating old name, new name and reason. We accept an existing affidavit, or use our ready format below.
Aadhaar / passport / PAN — used only to compose the notice with the correct spelling. Nothing is stored.
Use our standard name-change format — English, plus the regional script for the second paper. Free to fill in; you supply the details.
To change a child's name: a parent's affidavit plus the child's birth certificate. Format provided below.
The single most common question we get is ‘how was this number calculated?’ So here it is, in full. The price you see is the price you pay.
These are the conventional wordings passport and gazette offices expect. Pick one, fill in your details, done.
For a name change, the proof of publication is the actual deliverable — the thing the office files. We make sure it’s exactly what they accept.
Specifically about a passport / gazette name change in Hindustan Times. Anything else — the desk replies on chat within 30 minutes.
Yes. The passport rule requires publication in two newspapers — one English, one regional — after a name-change affidavit. Hindustan Times satisfies the English requirement.
For a passport, the affidavit + 2-newspaper ad is usually enough. A full Gazette of India notification is needed for some government records; the same affidavit + ad is its first step. Our desk can outline the gazette filing.
Exactly. One must be English (Hindustan Times) and the other in your regional language. You book both in one order; we set the regional-script wording for you.
Each paper is a separate publication with its own rate, so the two are added — not doubled arbitrarily. The 2-paper set is shown as one transparent total before you pay.
From ₹250: a 3-line notice in the lowest-rate city edition, plus one regional paper. The calculator shows the cheapest valid combination for your case, GST included.
GST (5% on classifieds) is shown as a separate line and added to your total before payment — never a surprise afterwards.
Yes — a notarised name-change affidavit comes first. We accept an existing affidavit (it needn’t be fresh) and provide a ready format if you don’t have one.
Yes. It needs a parent’s declaration affidavit and the child’s birth certificate. Use the minor format above.
Yes, if booked by 6 PM today. Passport appointment this week? Flag it and we prioritise the booking.
After it publishes, view and save the exact page — date and edition visible — from the Hindustan Times e-paper. Prefer it emailed or a printed copy? Ask the desk, on request.
A passport, gazette or bank name change requires public notice in a newspaper, and the office wants to see it in an established daily. Hindustan Times is an English-language newspaper accepted by passport offices and gazette departments across India — which is why most filers pair it with one regional paper to meet the two-newspaper rule.
Booking through releaseMyAd, the authorized online booking platform for Hindustan Times, means your notice runs at official Hindustan Times rates with a lowest-price guarantee, and you can view and save the exact page from the Hindustan Times e-paper to attach to your application — often in the next edition if booked before the cut-off.
