Quick Answer

To change your name legally in Dibrugarh, you follow three steps. A notarised affidavit on stamp paper, a public notice in two newspapers, one Assamese and one English, and then a Gazette notification. The Assam Gazette press is at Bamunimaidam in Guwahati, about 439 kilometres away, while the Central Gazette is filed in Delhi and accepted across India. We handle all three steps online, so nobody in Upper Assam travels for it.

The Tea City Problem

Garden Records Are a Hundred Years Old, and So Are the Spellings

Dibrugarh has the largest area under tea gardens in the world, and many of those gardens are more than a century old. Generations of families have their earliest records written into garden registers, estate school rolls and hospital books, by hand, by whoever was sitting at the desk that day. The same name was written one way in 1970 and another way in 1995.

So when a modern Aadhaar does not match an old school certificate, the honest answer is usually that this is a mismatch, not a new name. An affidavit naming both versions often settles it at the authority concerned. A Gazette is only needed when the difference is large, or when it repeats across many records. We read the papers first and tell you which one your case needs.

Bring the oldest paper you have: the earliest school or estate record usually decides what the correct spelling should be. Send it along with your newest document, and we will build the chain properly in the affidavit.
Central Gazette

The Central Gazette Process for a Name Change in Dibrugarh

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 in Dibrugarh.

Publish in Assamese and English Newspapers

One Assamese daily and one English daily such as The Assam Tribune, as the required public notice.

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.

Step 1 in Detail

What Your Name Change Affidavit Must Contain

Your old name exactly as printed on your existing documents
Your new name, spelt exactly as you want it recorded forever
Your father's or husband's name and your address with garden, village or ward
The reason, such as marriage, divorce, correction or personal choice
A declaration that both names belong to the same person
Your signature, witness signatures, and the notary stamp with date
An Upper Assam point: surnames here are written several ways in English, such as Gogoi and Gogoy, Borah and Bora, Saikia and Xaikia, Phukan and Fukan. Fix one final spelling before the affidavit is drafted, because the Gazette and every later record will copy it exactly.
Step 2 in Detail

The Assamese and English Newspaper Rules

Two papers are needed, one Assamese and one English, not just one
The notice must repeat the same old name, new name and address as the affidavit
It must mention the date on which the affidavit was made
The advertisement usually appears in the classified section
Keep the original cuttings showing the paper name and the date
Even one letter spelt differently can get your whole file returned
Cost of this step: two budget dailies cost about Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,500 together, while premium national papers can cost Rs 2,500 to Rs 5,000. We place both notices and collect the cuttings for your file.
Step 3 in Detail

What Goes Into Your Gazette File

The signed Gazette application form in the prescribed proforma
The original notarised affidavit
Original cuttings of both newspaper advertisements
A request letter addressed to the Controller of Publications
Identity proof, two photographs and the soft copy of the notice
The fee receipt, paid in the applicant's own name
Government fee and time: Rs 1,100 for an adult and Rs 1,700 for a minor for the Central Gazette. Publication usually takes 4 to 6 weeks after a complete file reaches the department, and the e-Gazette copy carries the same legal weight as the printed one.
Compare the Two Routes

Assam State Gazette or Central Gazette for Dibrugarh?

Both are valid. Here is the honest difference, so you pick the right one the first time.

Our honest advice for Dibrugarh: this is the farthest major city from the state press, so the state route costs you a two day trip if anything is queried. For a passport, an oil sector or central service record, or work outside Assam, choose the Central Gazette and finish it once. The state level detail is on our Assam name change guide, and the full comparison is in our name change agent in India guide.
For Oil Sector Staff

Working at Oil India Duliajan, ONGC or a Refinery?

Upper Assam is India's oldest oil country. Oil India Limited has its field headquarters at Duliajan, about fifty kilometres from Dibrugarh, the district is dotted with Oil India and ONGC installations, and the refinery and petrochemical projects across this belt employ thousands more families.

If you are in Government or public sector service, your name change 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.

Tip for PSU staff: update the service book, provident fund and pension papers as soon as the change is published. A mismatch found at retirement, or later by a family member claiming benefits, is far harder to correct.
Gateway to the East

Students and Patients Reach Dibrugarh From Across the Region

Dibrugarh is the health and education centre of Upper Assam. Assam Medical College and Hospital treats patients from across the region, and Dibrugarh University, the easternmost university in the country, draws students from all over the North East. Since the Bogibeel bridge opened, the north bank and the eastern districts of Arunachal Pradesh have been within a much shorter drive, and many families from Pasighat and nearby towns come here regularly.

Wherever you have come from, the documents are checked the same way. If your marksheet, Aadhaar and passport do not agree, it is caught at admission, at a job verification or at a visa interview. Fix it before the deadline, and use the Central Gazette if any part of your plan sits outside Assam.

Do it in the right order: correct Aadhaar first, then PAN and passport, and apply to your board or university last. Institutions want to see that your identity documents already carry the corrected name.
Save Your Money

Not Every Case in Dibrugarh 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 through the Dibrugarh Municipal Corporation, not by Gazette.

Certificates issued by the district administration, such as a caste, income or residence certificate, are corrected through the issuing authority at the Deputy Commissioner's office. A Gazette is for a full legal name change, after marriage, after divorce, for numerology or by personal choice.

Name Change in Dibrugarh, Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to the questions we hear most often.

How do I change my name legally in Dibrugarh?
In three steps. A notarised affidavit on stamp paper, a public notice in one Assamese and one English newspaper, and a Gazette notification. We handle all three for you, fully online.
Do I have to travel to Guwahati for the Gazette?
No. The Assam Gazette press is at Bamunimaidam in Guwahati, about 439 kilometres away, and the Central Gazette is filed in Delhi. We file on your behalf and courier the copy to Dibrugarh.
My old school record spells my name differently, what do I do?
That is very common with older garden and school records here. Decide one final English spelling, then use an affidavit for a small difference, or a Gazette where the difference is large or repeated.
I work at Oil India or ONGC, is my process different?
Yes. Along with the Gazette you must submit a name change deed in the format prescribed by the Ministry of Home Affairs, so the change enters your service book. For central records, use the Central Gazette.
My surname is spelt Gogoi on one paper and Gogoy on another, is that a problem?
It can be at verification. Pick one final spelling and correct the others with an affidavit, or with a Gazette if the difference appears across many documents.
How do I correct a name in a Dibrugarh birth certificate?
That is a Registrar correction handled through the Dibrugarh Municipal Corporation, not a Gazette matter. You apply with an affidavit and supporting proof of the correct name.
How much does a name change cost in Dibrugarh?
The Central Gazette Government fee is Rs 1,100 for an adult and Rs 1,700 for a minor. Newspaper and affidavit charges are separate. Our complete service starts at Rs 3,999.
How long does the Gazette take?
The Central Gazette usually takes about 4 to 6 weeks after a complete file is submitted. The state route timeline varies with the department.
