Start Your PAN Name Change

Yes, you can change your name in your PAN card. It is done online through the Protean, formerly NSDL, or UTIITSL portal by filing a PAN correction request. Your PAN number never changes, only the name on the card. For a small spelling correction, a valid ID may be enough. For a full legal name change, after marriage, divorce or personal reasons, a Government Gazette notification is the safe, accepted proof. Since 2026, your PAN name must match your Aadhaar records. We get you the Gazette and guide the PAN correction.
When Do You Need a Gazette for a PAN Name Change?
This is where honest advice saves you effort. If you only need to fix a small spelling mistake, a valid ID with the correct spelling is often enough, and you may not need a Gazette. If the change is after marriage, a marriage certificate is usually accepted.
But for a full legal name change, after divorce or by personal choice, the PAN service providers need strong proof. A Government Gazette notification is the safest, most widely accepted proof for a full name change in PAN. We tell you exactly which one your case needs, so your correction is not rejected.

Why Your PAN Name Must Match Your Aadhaar
From 1 April 2026, the CBDT introduced the new PAN CR-01 correction form, and your PAN identity details must match your Aadhaar records during verification. A name mismatch between PAN and Aadhaar can cause linking errors, tax filing issues and KYC problems at banks.
So when you change your name legally, it is best to update both PAN and Aadhaar to the same new spelling. We guide you so your records stay consistent everywhere and you avoid rejections.
The Central Gazette Process for a Full PAN Name Change
If your PAN correction is a full legal name change, this is the proof you need.
For a full name change, the PAN service providers need strong proof, and the Government Gazette notification is the safest one. The Gazette of India is the official public journal of the Government, and your name change is published in Part IV by the Department of Publication in Civil Lines, Delhi. Since 2026 the process runs mostly on the e-Gazette platform, where the digital copy carries the same legal weight as print.
To get the Gazette, we file your notarised affidavit, the original newspaper cuttings, the application form, a soft copy of the notice, the fee receipt and two passport photographs with the Controller of Publications. The Gazette is published weekly, usually on a Saturday, and you then use that copy as proof for your PAN correction. We prepare and file this whole package for you.
