To change your name legally in Andhra Pradesh, you follow three steps. First, a notarised affidavit on stamp paper stating your old name, new name and reason. Second, a public notice in two newspapers, one in English and one in Telugu. Third, a Gazette notification. You can choose the Andhra Pradesh State Gazette through the Commissioner of Printing in Vijayawada, or the Central Gazette of India, which is accepted everywhere in the country. We handle all three steps for you, fully online, anywhere in Andhra Pradesh.
Andhra Pradesh State Gazette or Central Gazette of India?
Both are valid. Here is the honest difference, so you pick the right one the first time.
| Point | Andhra Pradesh State Gazette | Central Gazette of India |
|---|---|---|
| Published by | Commissioner of Printing, Stationery and Stores Purchase, Vijayawada | Department of Publication, Civil Lines, Delhi |
| Where it is accepted | Mainly within Andhra Pradesh | Every state, and by all Government and private bodies in India |
| Best for | State records and local departments | Passport, PAN, banks, jobs outside the state and going abroad |
| Typical time | About 30 to 45 working days | About 4 to 6 weeks |
| Government fee | Nominal, as set by the department | Rs 1,100 for an adult, Rs 1,700 for a minor, through BharatKosh |
| Digital copy | Issued by the state department | Downloadable from the e-Gazette portal, same legal weight |
Do You Even Need a Gazette in Andhra Pradesh?
Here is something many agents will not tell you. Not every case needs a Gazette. If it is a small spelling mistake in your name, a notarised affidavit and your existing proof are usually enough at each authority. For a state certificate like a birth, income, caste or residence certificate, the correction is done through the revenue department, often via the MeeSeva portal, not through a Gazette.
A Gazette is for a full legal name change, after marriage, after divorce, for numerology or by personal choice. We check your case first and tell you honestly which route you need, so you never pay for a step you do not require.
Name Change Process in Andhra Pradesh, Step by Step
Three simple steps, handled by us from start to finish.
Prepare and Notarise the Affidavit
We draft your name change affidavit on stamp paper with your old name, new name and reason, and get it notarised.
Publish in Telugu and English Newspapers
Your notice is advertised in two newspapers, one Telugu and one English, as the required public notice.
File the Gazette Notification
We file your complete set with the Gazette office and send you the published notification as your legal proof.
For the Andhra Pradesh State Gazette, the application goes to the Commissioner of Printing, Stationery and Stores Purchase at Muthyalampadu, Vijayawada. For the Central Gazette, it goes to the Department of Publication in Civil Lines, Delhi, and appears in Part IV of the Gazette of India. In 2026 the e-Gazette copy carries the same legal weight as the printed one, so you can download and submit it anywhere.
