To change your name legally in Chhattisgarh, you follow three steps. A notarised affidavit on stamp paper, a public notice in two newspapers, one Hindi and one English, and then a Gazette notification. The state Gazette is handled by the Directorate of Printing and Stationery at Civil Lines in Raipur, while the Central Gazette is filed in Delhi and accepted across India. We handle all three steps online for you.
Your Old Certificates Say Madhya Pradesh, and That Is Not a Mistake
Chhattisgarh became a separate state on 1 November 2000. Anyone born, schooled or married before that date holds documents issued by Madhya Pradesh authorities, so a birth certificate, a matric certificate or an old land record can name a state that is no longer the one you live in. New documents such as Aadhaar say Chhattisgarh. Put the two side by side at a verification counter and questions start.
None of that is an error and none of it needs correcting on its own. What it does mean is that your affidavit has to explain the chain clearly, naming the old document, the authority that issued it and the present state, so that no officer treats them as two different people or two different addresses. Most agents draft a standard affidavit and leave this out, and that is when files come back.
The Central Gazette Process for a Name Change in Chhattisgarh
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 Hindi and English Newspapers
One Hindi daily and one English daily, carrying exactly the same wording as your affidavit.
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
Chhattisgarh 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 | Chhattisgarh State Gazette | Central Gazette of India |
|---|---|---|
| Handled by | Directorate of Printing and Stationery, Civil Lines, Raipur | Department of Publication, Civil Lines, Delhi |
| Where the presses are | Raipur, with a Government press at Naya Raipur and a regional press at Rajnandgaon | Filed by post, so your district does not matter |
| Where it is accepted | Mainly within Chhattisgarh | Every state, and by all Government and private bodies in India |
| Steel plant, coal and power sector staff | Meant for state department records | The route central service records work with |
| Passport and going abroad | Usually not accepted for visa and attestation | The proof passport offices and embassies look for |
| Typical time | Varies with the department | About 4 to 6 weeks after a complete file |
| Government fee | As set by the state department | Rs 1,100 adult, Rs 1,700 minor |
| Digital copy | Published through the state department | Downloadable e-Gazette, same legal weight |
Steel, Coal and Power Service Records
Chhattisgarh carries one of the largest concentrations of public sector employment in the country. The steel plant at Bhilai, the coalfields around Korba and Bilaspur, the power stations, the aluminium works and the railway establishments together employ lakhs of families across the Durg, Korba, Raigarh and Bilaspur belt.
For anyone in Government or public sector service, a name change also has to be entered in the service book. That means a name change deed in the format prescribed under the Ministry of Home Affairs office memorandum of 1987, submitted along with the Gazette notification. A Gazette on its own, without that deed, is usually returned by the establishment section. For central service records, the Central Gazette is what is expected. We prepare both together.
Not Every Case in Chhattisgarh Needs a Gazette
Many agents sell a Gazette for every case. That is not honest. A small spelling mistake 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 block office, not by Gazette.
Scheduled Tribe, Scheduled Caste, income and residence certificates are corrected through the issuing authority at the tehsil or district office, which matters a great deal in a state where a large share of families hold a tribal certificate. Land record entries go through the revenue side. A Gazette is for a full legal name change, after marriage, after divorce, for numerology or by personal choice.
