To change your name legally in Nagaon, 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 123 kilometres away, while the Central Gazette is filed in Delhi and accepted across India. We handle all three steps online for you.
If the Problem Is on Your Land Papers, a Gazette Will Not Fix It
Nagaon is the most populous district in Assam and its economy is almost entirely agricultural, so a very large number of the cases we see here are about land, not identity. A patta or jamabandi entry carries one spelling, the Aadhaar carries another, and the family is told to get a Gazette notification.
That advice is usually wrong and it costs you money. A name entry on a land record is corrected through the revenue side, with a rectification deed at the sub-registrar where a deed is involved, and a mutation entry updated at the Circle Office. A Gazette notification does not by itself change what is written in a land record. We look at your papers first and tell you which office your case actually belongs to.
The Central Gazette Process for a Name Change in Nagaon
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 Nagaon.
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.

What Goes Into Your Gazette File
Assam State Gazette or Central Gazette for Nagaon?
Both are valid. Here is the honest difference, so you pick the right one the first time.

|---|---|---|
| Published by | Directorate of Printing and Stationery, Bamunimaidam, Guwahati | Department of Publication, Civil Lines, Delhi |
| Distance from Nagaon | About 123 kilometres to Guwahati | Filed by post, so distance does not matter |
| Where it is accepted | Mainly within Assam | Every state, and by all Government and private bodies in India |
| Working outside Assam | Often questioned in other states | Accepted everywhere, including for passport work |
| Government employees | Recorded through your department, with the prescribed deed | Accepted with the prescribed deed for service records |
| Typical time | Varies with the department | About 4 to 6 weeks |
| 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 |
Families Here Work in Guwahati and Upper Assam Both
Nagaon sits in the middle of Assam and the road to everywhere runs through it. Golaghat, Jorhat, Sivasagar, Dibrugarh and Tinsukia lie to the east, Sonitpur and North Lakhimpur to the north, and Guwahati is a couple of hours to the west. Very few families here have everyone in the same district.
That matters when you choose a route. If a son works in Guwahati, a daughter studies in Delhi and a bank account sits with a branch in another state, the document that keeps everything consistent is the Central Gazette. It is accepted in every state without a second question.
Batadrava, Namghar Registers and Decades Old Spellings
Nagaon is the birthplace of Srimanta Sankardev, whose Than at Bordowa near Batadrava dates back to 1468, and the district has been an administrative headquarters since 1839. Families here often hold records that go back generations, in school registers, Namghar and Satra papers and old revenue documents.
Those records were written by hand, and the same name appears in more than one form. When that clashes with a modern Aadhaar, it is a mismatch between two records, not a new name. An affidavit naming both versions often settles it. We read what you hold before recommending anything more expensive.
Not Every Case in Nagaon 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 Nagaon municipal office, 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, and land entries through the revenue side. A Gazette is for a full legal name change, after marriage, after divorce, for numerology or by personal choice.
