A.Dear Client,
Firstly, you need to file an affidavit mentioning your father's current name and the desired new name and state that both names belong to the same person. The affidavit should be made on a stamp paper of the appropriate value as per the state law and should be sworn before the 1st class Judicial Magistrate or Executive Magistrate. The changes in the name have to be notified by publishing it in the Official Gazette. Further, you can obtain a name change deed, which acts as a legal document to rectify the name. Lastly, you can submit the deed (duly signed and notarized) to the relevant authorities for necessary corrections in records. You 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. If required, you can consult an advocate for advice and assistance in the matter.
Hope it helps.
Thank you.

A.Dear Client,
To change or amend your father's name in all legal documents, you can take 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/surname, the desired name/surname, the reason for the change of surname, and any other relevant details declaring that the "A s/o B " and the "A s/o C" 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 preferably before the 1st class Judicial Magistrate or Executive Magistrate. 2) The next step in the name/surname 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/surname 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/surname change deed. The said deed is a legal document that confirms the name/surname change and includes the details of the old and new name/surname. 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/surname 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 wherever and whenever required. It is essential to follow the correct procedure to ensure that the correction of the name is recognized by the concerned Authority.
