A.Dear client,
In order to submit such changes, you must first speak with the relevant authority and review their procedural requirements.
Next, you need a first-class magistrate to complete an affidavit. It must be announced and published in local newspapers.

A.Dear Client,
If you wish to change your surname from Thakur to Sharma, the process typically involves legal and administrative steps. Firstly, you would need to consult with a legal professional to understand the specific requirements and procedures in your jurisdiction. Generally, the process may include drafting a formal name change affidavit stating your intention to change your surname, publishing a public notice in a local newspaper, and obtaining a Gazette notification.

Once these legal formalities are completed, you can proceed to update your surname in all relevant documents. This includes your educational certificates, identity cards, passport, and other official records. Visit the respective authorities or departments responsible for issuing these documents, and follow their prescribed procedures for name change. Keep the legal documents, such as the affidavit and Gazette notification, handy during this process.

It's important to note that the exact steps and requirements may vary based on your location and the rules applicable in your country or state. Seeking legal advice will ensure that you follow the correct procedures and comply with all legal requirements for changing your surname.

A.Dear Client,
To resolve the issue related to change of your surname in different documents legally, you need to pursue the following steps. 1) An affidavit is a legal document that is used to state facts under oath. The affidavit should include the applicant's current name, the desired new name, the reason for the surname change, and any other relevant details declaring that the ' Ankit Thakur' and the ' Ankit Sharma ' are the same and one identical person. The affidavit should be made on a stamp paper of the appropriate value as per the state where the applicant resides and should be sworn either before the Notary Public or preferably before the Judicial Magistrate/Executive Magistrate. 2) The next step in the name change process is to publish a notification in the Gazette of India. The Gazette of India is a publication of the Government of India that contains official government notifications, including name change notifications. The notification should be in the prescribed format and published in at least two local newspapers. 3) After publishing the notification in the Gazette of India, the next step is to make out a name change deed. The name change deed is a legal document that confirms the name change and includes the details of the old and new names. The deed should be made on a stamp paper of the appropriate value as per the state where the applicant resides and should be signed by two witnesses and notarized by a Notary Public. 5) The final step is to submit the name change deed to the relevant authorities for information and records. The applicant may also need to provide additional documents, such as a copy of the Gazette notification and a copy of the affidavit for updating the records. It is essential to follow the correct procedure to ensure that the name change is recognized by the Government and other relevant authorities.
