Start Your Name Change in Rajahmundry
Fill this quick form and our team will call you back with the process, documents and cost.
To change your name legally in Rajahmundry, 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 150 kilometres away, while the Central Gazette is filed in Delhi and accepted across India. We handle all three steps online, so you do not travel at all.
Your Papers Say Rajahmundry, Others Say Rajamahendravaram
In October 2015 the state Government officially renamed the city Rajamahendravaram, restoring its older name. So your school certificate may say Rajahmundry, your recent Aadhaar may say Rajamahendravaram, and people worry that this counts as a mismatch on their documents.
Here is the honest answer, and it saves you money. That is a change in the city's name, not in yours. Both names refer to the same place, and no office asks you to file a Gazette for it. What actually needs correcting is a difference in your own name, your father's or mother's name, or your date of birth. We look at your papers and tell you which of those, if any, applies to you.
The Central Gazette Process for a Name Change in Rajahmundry
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 Rajahmundry.
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.

What Goes Into Your Gazette File
Andhra Pradesh State Gazette or Central Gazette for Rajahmundry?
Both are legal. Here is the honest difference, so you choose the right one the first time.
| Point | Andhra Pradesh State Gazette | Central Gazette of India |
|---|---|---|
| Published by | Commissioner of Printing, Stationery and Stores Purchase, Vijayawada | Department of Publication, Civil Lines, Delhi |
| Distance from Rajahmundry | About 150 kilometres to Vijayawada | Filed by post, so distance does not matter |
| Where it is accepted | Mainly within Andhra Pradesh | Every state, and by all Government and private bodies in India |
| Passport and going abroad | Usually not accepted for visa and attestation | The proof passport offices and embassies look for |
| ONGC, railway and Government staff | May still be asked for the central format deed | Accepted with the prescribed deed for service records |
| Typical time | About 30 to 45 working days | About 4 to 6 weeks |
| Government fee | Nominal, as set by the state department | Rs 1,100 adult, Rs 1,700 minor, through BharatKosh |
| Digital copy | Issued by the state department | Downloadable e-Gazette, same legal weight |
Working at ONGC, the Railways or a Government Office? Read This First
Rajahmundry has a large public sector workforce. ONGC runs a major asset here, the city is an important railway junction, and the district offices, Adikavi Nannaya University and the Government College employ thousands more.
If you are in Government or public sector service, your name change has one extra requirement. You must submit a name change deed in the format prescribed under the Ministry of Home Affairs office memorandum of 1987, so the change is entered in your service book. A Gazette notification alone, without that deed, is often returned by the establishment section. We prepare the deed along with your Gazette file.
Not Every Case in Rajahmundry 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 Rajamahendravaram 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.
