To change your name legally in Tawang, you prepare an affidavit sworn before a Notary Public or an Executive Magistrate at the district headquarters, publish a notice in a local English daily, and then take it to a Gazette. The state Gazette is printed at Naharlagun, several hundred kilometres away across Sela, while the Central Gazette is filed in Delhi and accepted across India. We handle every step online, so nobody in Tawang travels for paperwork.
Tsering or Tshering, Dorjee or Dorji, and Why It Matters
Monpa and Buddhist names have no single fixed English spelling. The same person can be Tsering on a school record and Tshering on an Aadhaar, Dorjee on a service card and Dorji on a bank passbook, Wangchuk in one place and Wangchuck in another. Nothing is wrong with any of them, but a verification officer sees two different names.
There is a second issue that catches people at the worst moment. Many names here are two given names with no family surname, and a passport application, a bank form or a job portal insists on a surname. The usual fix is to formally add a clan or village name, and that is treated as a name change. We handle both cases, the small spelling difference and the formal addition of a surname.
The Central Gazette Process for a Name Change in Tawang
This is the route accepted everywhere in India and abroad. Here is exactly what happens at each step.
Prepare and Attest the Affidavit
A sworn declaration on non-judicial stamp paper, attested by a Notary Public or an Executive Magistrate at the district headquarters.
Publish the Newspaper Notice
A public notice in a local English daily such as The Arunachal Times, along with a second widely circulated paper as required.
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
Arunachal State Gazette or Central Gazette for Tawang?
Both are valid. Here is the honest difference, so you pick the right one the first time.
| Point | Arunachal Pradesh State Gazette | Central Gazette of India |
|---|---|---|
| Published by | Directorate of Printing and Stationery, Naharlagun | Department of Publication, Civil Lines, Delhi |
| Distance from Tawang | Bomdila alone is 183 kilometres, the Capital Region is far beyond | Filed by post, so distance does not matter |
| Extra step | Government approval is needed before the notice is printed | No departmental approval, the file is submitted directly |
| Where it is accepted | Mainly within Arunachal Pradesh | Every state, and by all Government and private bodies in India |
| Defence and central Government staff | Meant for state records | The route central service records work with |
| Passport and travel | Usually not accepted for passport work | The proof passport offices look for |
| Government fee | As set by the state department | Rs 1,100 adult, Rs 1,700 minor, through BharatKosh |
| Digital copy | Published on the state printing department website | Downloadable e-Gazette, same legal weight |
The Road Across Sela, and Why We Work Online
Tawang sits at about three thousand metres, and the road out passes through Sela. Bomdila alone is one hundred and eighty three kilometres away, and the Capital Region is several hundred kilometres beyond that. The Sela Tunnel, opened in March 2024, has made the route far more dependable through the year, but it is still a long journey for a piece of paper.
That is why every part of our service is remote. You send photographs of your documents on WhatsApp, we draft the affidavit, arrange the attestation and the newspaper notice, file the Gazette and courier the published copy back to Tawang. Nobody in this district should spend two days on the road to fix a spelling.
Army, Police and Government Service Records
Tawang is a border district with a large defence and police presence, and many local families have someone in uniform or in state service. For anyone in service, a name change is not only personal, because it has to be entered in the service record.
That means a name change deed in the format prescribed under the Ministry of Home Affairs office memorandum of 1987, submitted along with the Gazette notification, so the change is recorded properly. For defence and central Government records, the Central Gazette is the route that is expected. We prepare the deed and the Gazette file together.
Not Every Case in Tawang Needs a Gazette
Many agents sell a Gazette for every case. That is not honest. A one letter spelling difference is usually fixed with an attested affidavit and your existing proof at each authority. A name error in a birth certificate is corrected by the Registrar through the Tawang Municipal Council, not by Gazette.
Certificates issued by the district administration, such as a Scheduled Tribe, income or residence certificate, are corrected through the issuing authority at the Deputy Commissioner's office. A Gazette is for a full legal name change, for formally adding a surname, after marriage, after divorce or by personal choice.
