Start Your Name Change in Vijayawada

To change your name legally in Vijayawada, 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 at Muthyalampadu in Vijayawada, while the Central Gazette is filed in Delhi and accepted across India. We handle all three steps online for you.
The Gazette Office Is In Your City, But Choose the Route Carefully
Vijayawada residents have something no other city in Andhra Pradesh has. The state Gazette office, the Commissioner of Printing, Stationery and Stores Purchase, is right here at Muthyalampadu, pin 520011. People from Visakhapatnam, Tirupati and Kurnool travel hundreds of kilometres to reach it, while for you it is a short auto ride.
That closeness makes the state route feel like the obvious choice. Be careful here. A state Gazette is mainly used within Andhra Pradesh. If you will update a passport, apply for a job outside the state or go abroad, the Central Gazette is the route that holds everywhere. Read our full Andhra Pradesh name change guide for the state level detail.
The Central Gazette Process for a Name Change in Vijayawada
This is the route accepted everywhere in India. Here is exactly what happens at each of the three steps.
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 Vijayawada.
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.

Andhra Pradesh State Gazette or Central Gazette for Vijayawada?
Both are legal. Here is the honest difference, so you choose the right one the first time.

|---|---|---|
| Published by | Commissioner of Printing, Stationery and Stores Purchase, Muthyalampadu, Vijayawada | Department of Publication, Civil Lines, Delhi |
| For Vijayawada residents | The office is in your own city | Filed by post, so no travel either way |
| Where it is accepted | Mainly within Andhra Pradesh | Every state, and by all Government and private bodies in India |
| Best for | State department records and local use | Passport, PAN, banks, jobs outside the state and going abroad |

Working in a State Government Office? Read This First
Vijayawada and the neighbouring capital region carry a very large number of Government employees, in the secretariat offices, the revenue department, the railways and state corporations. If you are one of them, your name change has one extra requirement.
Government employees 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 the service book. A Gazette notification on its own, without that deed in the correct format, is often returned by the establishment section. We prepare the deed along with your Gazette file.
Not Every Case in Vijayawada Needs a Gazette
Because the Gazette office is nearby, many agents in Vijayawada 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 Vijayawada 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.
