To change your name legally in Kurnool, you follow three steps. A notarised affidavit on stamp paper, a public notice in two newspapers, one Telugu such as Eenadu or Sakshi and one English, and then a Gazette notification. The Andhra Pradesh Gazette office is in Vijayawada, about 344 kilometres away, while the Central Gazette is filed in Delhi and accepted in every state, including Telangana and Karnataka. We handle all three steps online.
Hyderabad Is Closer, But You Cannot Use the Telangana Gazette
Kurnool sits at a three state junction. Hyderabad is about 200 kilometres north, Karnataka begins just west at Raichur and Ballari, and the Andhra Pradesh Gazette office in Vijayawada is around 344 kilometres away. So people naturally ask whether they can simply use the Telangana Gazette, since Hyderabad is nearer and many families work there.
The honest answer is no. A state Gazette is meant for residents of that state, and as a Kurnool resident your state route is the Andhra Pradesh Gazette. The clean way out of this problem is the Central Gazette of India, which is valid in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka and every other state, and needs no travel at all. Our name change agent in India guide sets out both routes with a full fee breakdown.
The Central Gazette Process for a Name Change in Kurnool
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 Kurnool.
Publish in Telugu and English Newspapers
One Telugu daily such as Eenadu, Sakshi or Andhra Jyothi, and one English daily, 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.

Family Papers From the First Capital Era
Kurnool was the capital of Andhra State from 1953 to 1956, and it has been a district headquarters far longer than that. Many families here still hold land papers, school records and service documents written decades ago, when spellings were entered by hand and transliterated differently by each clerk.
That is why so many Kurnool cases are not really name changes at all. They are mismatches between an old record and a new one. We read your papers first and tell you honestly whether an affidavit will settle it, or whether a Gazette notification is the cleaner permanent fix.
Not Every Case in Kurnool 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 at the Kurnool Municipal Corporation, not by Gazette.
State certificates such as income, caste, residence or domicile are corrected through the revenue department, commonly at a MeeSeva centre. 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.
