To change your name legally in Durg, 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 office is at Civil Lines in Raipur, about 35 kilometres away, while the Central Gazette is filed in Delhi and accepted across India. No court case is needed at any stage.
Bhilai Is Where People Work, Durg Is Where the Offices Are
The twin cities confuse a lot of people. The steel plant and most of the jobs are in Bhilai, but the district machinery sits in Durg. The Collector's office, the civil courts, the Sub Divisional and tehsil offices and the sub registrar are all here. So a family living in Bhilai, Charoda, Jamul, Risali or Kumhari still comes to Durg when a caste, income or residence certificate has to be corrected, when a land record is involved, or when a district level approval is needed.
Knowing that saves you the most common waste of time in this belt, which is going to the wrong counter twice. For the name change itself, none of these offices are involved. A legal name change runs on an affidavit, a newspaper notice and a Gazette notification, and we handle all three without you visiting anywhere. If you also work at the steel plant, our Bhilai name change page covers the service record side in detail.

Hemchand Yadav Vishwavidyalaya Serves Five Districts
Hemchand Yadav Vishwavidyalaya, based here at Raipur Naka, was created in 2015 and covers the colleges of Durg, Balod, Bemetara, Rajnandgaon and Kabirdham. That means a very large share of the degree and marksheet corrections for this whole belt are applied for through Durg, whichever of those five districts your college sits in. The veterinary and agricultural university is also based in this city.
A name correction on a degree is applied for through your college to the university. The order decides whether it goes through. Correct your Aadhaar first, then your PAN and passport, and apply to the university last with the Gazette copy attached. Applying while your Aadhaar still carries the old spelling is the most common reason these requests come back.
Not Every Case in Durg 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 through the Durg Municipal Corporation, or the corporation where the birth was registered, not by Gazette.
Scheduled Tribe, Scheduled Caste, income and residence certificates are corrected through the issuing authority at the tehsil or Sub Divisional Office here in Durg, and land record entries through the revenue side. A Gazette is for a full legal name change, after marriage, after divorce, for numerology or by personal choice.
