Changing your name in Adilabad requires some legal formalities in which publishing a name change advertisement in local newspapers is a crucial step. This page provides specific guidance and an online booking option for publishing your name change ad in Adilabad, ensuring compliance with local regulations and wider visibility within the city.
Under Indian law, publishing a name change advertisement in a newspaper is not optional - it's a formal public notice that confirms your identity change. Adilabad government offices, banks, the Passport Seva Kendra, and educational institutions all require a printed newspaper copy as part of their name change verification process.
People in Adilabad publish name change ads for all kinds of reasons - correcting a spelling mistake in an Aadhaar card or PAN card, updating a surname after marriage or divorce, changing a name for religious or astrological reasons, modifying a minor child's name on school records, or correcting a father's name on official documents. Whatever your reason, the process is the same: get a notarized affidavit, publish the ad in two Adilabad newspapers, and submit the clippings to the relevant authority.
For most official purposes in Adilabad - especially passport applications - you are required to publish in two newspapers: one national English daily and one local Hindi newspaper. This is a firm requirement at Adilabad's Passport Seva Kendra offices and is also expected by most banks and government departments.
The good news is that you don't need to publish in an expensive paper unless you specifically want to. All newspapers listed on Ads2Publish are INS-accredited and officially accepted at Adilabad's Passport Seva Kendra. We offer combo packages that bundle one English and one Hindi Adilabad newspaper at a discounted price - starting from just ₹525 for both.
When choosing your newspaper, keep one practical thing in mind: you'll need to buy physical copies of the newspaper on the day your ad is published. Choose a newspaper that's easily available at your local newsstand in your Adilabad neighbourhood. A less popular paper that you can't actually buy in Lajpat Nagar or Rohini on the day of publication is more trouble than it's worth.
Before you book your ad, you need a notarized affidavit. Visit any local notary or Oath Commissioner in Adilabad - you'll find them near district courts. The affidavit typically costs between ₹150 and ₹200 and takes about 30 minutes to prepare. It must include your current name, new name, father's or husband's name, age, full Adilabad address, and the reason for the name change.
One important note: most authorities, including the Passport Office, require the affidavit to be no older than 6 months. If yours is older than that, get a fresh one - it's not worth the risk of rejection.
Come back to this page, choose your preferred combo package (or select newspapers individually), and pick the date you want your ad to appear. If you need it published urgently, we offer next-day release for bookings made before 12 noon on weekdays in Adilabad. For Sunday editions, book by Friday afternoon.
Use our online text editor to write your ad. Here's the standard format accepted by Adilabad authorities:
I, [Old Name], S/o or D/o [Father's Name], aged [X] years, residing at [Full Adilabad Address], have changed my name from [Old Name] to [New Name] vide Affidavit No. [Number], dated [DD.MM.YYYY], before Notary [Notary's Name], [District], Adilabad.
Make sure every detail in your ad matches the affidavit exactly - same spelling, same address, same affidavit number. Any mismatch between your ad and your affidavit can cause your application to be rejected at the Passport Office or bank.
Complete your payment securely by credit card, debit card, UPI, or net banking. You'll receive a tax invoice and booking confirmation on your registered email address within minutes.
After booking, upload a clear scanned copy or photograph of your notarized affidavit (PDF or JPEG). This is required before your ad goes to the newspaper for editorial approval. If you have trouble uploading, you can also email it to customercare@ads2publish.com by replying to your booking confirmation.
On the day your ad is published, we'll email you a digital e-paper link so you can confirm it's appeared correctly. For official use - especially passport applications - you'll need original printed copies. Buy at least 4 to 5 copies from your local newsstand on publication day. Back-dated printed copies are genuinely very difficult to find in Adilabad later, so don't skip this step.
Updating your name on an Indian passport is one of the most common reasons people in Adilabad publish name change ads. If this is your situation, here's exactly what the Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) in Adilabad requires:
Adilabad has multiple Passport Seva Kendra locations, all of them follow the same documentation requirement for name changes. The newspapers listed on this page are all accepted at Adilabad PSK offices - you do not need to publish in any specific publication. Choose based on availability and cost.
A common question we get from Adilabad customers: "Can I use a photocopy of the newspaper?" The answer is no. PSK offices in Adilabad require original printed newspaper copies, not photocopies or digital printouts. This is why buying multiple copies on publication day is so important.
Once your ad is published and you have the newspaper copies, you can submit your passport name change application online at passportindia.gov.in and carry the original documents to your PSK appointment.
Below are sample formats used by Adilabad residents for different name change situations. All of these formats are accepted by Adilabad government offices, Passport Seva Kendras, and banks. Copy the relevant format, fill in your details, and make sure it exactly matches what's written on your affidavit.

For most private-sector purposes - bank accounts, private educational certificates, insurance policies - a newspaper ad plus your notarized affidavit is all you need. However, if you're a central or state government employee in Adilabad, or if you're updating records with a central government department, you will also need your name change published in the Gazette of India.
The important thing to know is that a newspaper ad is a mandatory prerequisite for the Gazette application - you cannot apply for a Gazette notification without first publishing in a newspaper. So the sequence is: affidavit first, then newspaper ad, then Gazette application.
The Gazette application is submitted to the Department of Publication in Delhi (near Civil Lines). Processing typically takes 4 to 8 weeks. If you need guidance on the Gazette process, our team can walk you through it - just call us on +91-8121003003.
