To change your name legally in Assam, you follow three steps. A notarised affidavit on stamp paper, a public notice in two newspapers, one English and one in your regional language, and then a Gazette notification. The Assam Gazette is published by the Directorate of Printing and Stationery at Bamunimaidam in Guwahati, while the Central Gazette is filed in Delhi and accepted across India. We handle all three steps online for you.
Your Newspaper Notice Language Depends on Which Valley You Live In
This is the part that general guides get wrong for Assam. In the Brahmaputra Valley, from Dhubri to Tinsukia, the regional notice goes in an Assamese daily. But in the Barak Valley, that is Cachar, Sribhumi and Hailakandi, Bengali is the official language of administration, and the notice is normally placed in a Bengali daily published from Silchar. In the Bodoland region, Bodo is an associate official language alongside Assamese.
Getting this wrong is not a small thing. A notice in the wrong regional language, or only in English, can have the whole file returned after you have already paid for the advertisement. We ask where you live before anything is booked, and place the notice in the language your district actually uses.
The Central Gazette Process for a Name Change in Assam
This is the route accepted everywhere in India and abroad. Here is exactly what happens at each step.
Prepare and Notarise the Affidavit
A sworn declaration on non-judicial stamp paper, signed with witnesses and attested by a Notary Public or First Class Magistrate.
Publish in Two Newspapers
One English daily such as The Assam Tribune, and one regional daily, Assamese or Bengali, depending on your district.
File With the Department of Publication
The complete file goes to the Controller of Publications, Civil Lines, Delhi, and your notice appears in Part IV of the Gazette of India.

What Goes Into Your Gazette File
Assam 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 | Assam State Gazette | Central Gazette of India |
|---|---|---|
| Published by | Directorate of Printing and Stationery, Bamunimaidam, Guwahati | Department of Publication, Civil Lines, Delhi |
| Where the press sits | Guwahati, with branch presses at Dispur and Jorhat | Filed by post, so your district does not matter |
| Where it is accepted | Mainly within Assam | Every state, and by all Government and private bodies in India |
| Working across the North East or in a metro | Often questioned outside Assam | Accepted in every state and for passport work |
| Government employees | Recorded through your department, with the prescribed deed | Accepted with the prescribed deed for service records |
| Publication | Published weekly by the state press | Published weekly, usually on a Saturday, in Part IV |
| Government fee | As set by the state department | Rs 1,100 adult, Rs 1,700 minor |
| Digital copy | Available through the state department portal | Downloadable e-Gazette, same legal weight |
Guwahati Is Where the North East Comes for Everything
Assam is the hub of the region. Families from Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Manipur and Mizoram come to Guwahati for hospitals, colleges, banking and flights, and Assam's own students and workers move on to Delhi, Bengaluru and abroad. Every one of those journeys ends at a counter where documents are checked.
That is why the Central Gazette matters so much here. It is the proof that is accepted in every state, by central offices, by passport authorities and by employers outside the region. A state Gazette is fine for local records, but it starts drawing questions the moment you cross the border.
Not Every Case in Assam Needs a Gazette
Many agents sell a Gazette for every case. That is not honest. A small spelling mistake in your name is usually fixed with a notarised affidavit and your existing proof at each authority. A name error in a birth certificate is corrected by the Registrar of Births and Deaths through your municipal body or district office, not by Gazette.
Certificates issued by the district administration, such as a caste, income or residence certificate, are corrected through the issuing authority. 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 which route you actually need.
