To change your name legally in Raipur, 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 here in Raipur, while the Central Gazette is filed in Delhi and accepted across India. We handle every step online.
The Gazette Office Is in Civil Lines, But the High Court Is Not Here
Raipur residents are better placed than anyone else in the state. The Directorate of Printing and Stationery sits at Civil Lines, the Government press works from behind Indravati Bhawan at Nava Raipur, the Mantralaya at Mahanadi Bhawan is a short drive out, and close to sixty state directorates operate from the same complex. A family in Jagdalpur or Ambikapur travels most of a day for any of it.
One honest correction though, because people get this wrong. The Chhattisgarh High Court is at Bilaspur, not Raipur, so a court related matter does not stay in this city. A name change does not need a court at all, which is worth knowing before someone sells you a court process you never required. The state level detail is on our Chhattisgarh name change guide.
The Central Gazette Process for a Name Change in Raipur
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 Raipur.
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 for Raipur?
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 |
| For Raipur residents | The office is in your own city | Filed by post, so no travel either way |
| Where it is accepted | Mainly within Chhattisgarh | Every state, and by all Government and private bodies in India |
| State Government staff | Recorded through your department, with the prescribed deed | Also accepted, with the same prescribed deed |
| Central institutes such as AIIMS, NIT and IIM | Meant for state level records | The route central institutions work with |
| Passport and going abroad | Usually not accepted for visa and attestation | The proof passport offices and embassies look for |
| 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 |
Mahanadi Bhawan, Indrawati Bhawan and the Service Book
The state secretariat moved to Mahanadi Bhawan at Nava Raipur in 2012, and the directorate building next to it houses close to sixty directorates of the Government of Chhattisgarh. Between the two, a very large share of the working population of this city is in state service.
For an employee, a name change is never only personal, because it has to be entered in the service book. The order is affidavit, newspaper notice, Gazette, and then a name change deed in the format prescribed under the Ministry of Home Affairs office memorandum of 1987, so the establishment section can record it. Finally the provident fund and pension papers are updated. Skipping the deed is the single most common reason a file is returned here.
AIIMS, NIT, IIM and the National Law University
Few cities in central India hold as many centrally funded institutions as Raipur. An All India Institute of Medical Sciences, a National Institute of Technology, an Indian Institute of Management, a National Law University and a pharmaceutical education institute all sit here or nearby, alongside Pandit Ravishankar Shukla University and the state medical and engineering colleges.
Central institutes check identity documents closely at admission and again at convocation. If your marksheet, Aadhaar and PAN carry different spellings, sort it out before a counselling, placement or convocation date. The order matters. Correct your Aadhaar first, then your PAN and passport, and apply to the institute last with the Gazette copy attached.
Not Every Case in Raipur 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 Raipur Municipal Corporation, not by Gazette.
Scheduled Tribe, Scheduled Caste, income and residence certificates are corrected through the issuing authority at the tehsil or district office, 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.
