The Gazette Name Change Procedure in Bihar is a formal process for individuals or organizations to legally change their name. To initiate this, an affidavit stating the reason for the name change must be prepared and submitted to the appropriate authority, typically the District Magistrate (DM). Afterward, the name change must be published in two local newspapers, one in Hindi and one in English, for public notice. Following the newspaper publication, the individual must apply to the Bihar government for an official Gazette notification, which records the name change. Along with the application, relevant documents such as proof of identity, address, and citizenship are usually required. Once the Gazette notification is issued, the name change is legally recognized, and individuals can update their official records and documents accordingly. This process ensures that the name change is public, legal, and binding.
