We draft the affidavit, book the newspaper notices and prepare the Gazette file for the Kolkata Gazette Part II or the Gazette of India.

Our Story

Why We Started a Name Change Consultancy for West Bengal

Most name change websites treat every state the same. They send everyone to Delhi, quote a "demand draft" that the Department of Publication stopped accepting years ago, and never mention that West Bengal has its own working online Gazette.

We saw families in Kolkata, Howrah, Siliguri and small district towns pay twice: once for a file that came back from Delhi, and again to do it properly. Others paid for a Gazette they never needed, when a simple Registrar correction would have fixed a birth certificate spelling.

West Bengal Name Change was built to fix that. One team, one honest answer about which route you need, and a file that is checked line by line before anything is paid.

What Makes West Bengal Different

Kolkata Gazette Part II or Gazette of India: Two Routes, One Right Answer

West Bengal residents aged 18 and above can use the Kolkata Gazette Part II, published online by Saraswaty Press Limited, with notification within 7 days when the file is in order. For a passport, visa, minor or any use outside the state, the Gazette of India, Part IV, is the route.

Knowing which one your office will accept is half the job. We ask that question first, before we draft a single line.

The Founder

Vipin Chauhan: Law Graduate and Gazette Documentation Consultant

Vipin Chauhan

B.Tech, LL.B · Founder
  • More than five years of direct filing with the Department of Publication, Delhi
  • Works from the official guidelines, not forum rumours
  • Runs a network of legal documentation services across India
  • Personally reviews the route chosen for every West Bengal file

Vipin holds an engineering degree and a law degree, and has spent more than five years filing name change notifications with the Department of Publication in Delhi. That experience is why this site says things other sites do not: BharatKosh only, no demand draft; applications in your own name, never through an agent; documents not older than one year; the full newspaper page, not a cutting.

For West Bengal, he added the state layer on top: the Kolkata Gazette Part II guideline of 17 May 2023, the First Class Judicial Magistrate attestation it asks for, the GRIPS payment head, and the 7-day timeline. Every claim on this website is checked against the published notification or the Department's own rules.

The 5,000 clients we have helped in West Bengal came from one habit: telling people the cheaper route when it is the right one, even when it means no Gazette at all.

How We Work

How We Handle Your Gazette Name Change File, Step by Step

1

Free Document Check on WhatsApp

You send a photo of your ID and the documents that disagree with each other. We reply with one clear answer: correction or full name change, and if a Gazette is needed, which one.

2

Fee Quoted, Government Fee Shown Separately

You see our service fee and the government fee as two separate numbers before paying anything. If a file is ever returned, we tell you in advance exactly what happens.

3

Drafting and Line-by-Line Check

Affidavit and newspaper text are drafted and matched letter for letter against your Aadhaar. Spelling, father's name, address, signature in the old name, stamp value and fee head are all checked before you sign.

4

Filing in Your Own Name

Kolkata Gazette Part II is filed on the portal in your login with our guidance. The Gazette of India file is posted by you to Civil Lines, Delhi-110054, because the Department does not accept files from agents.

5

Follow-Up Till Published, Then Updates

We track the file till the notification is published and you have downloaded it. Then we hand you the update order for every document.

FAQ

About West Bengal Name Change: Frequently Asked Questions

Is West Bengal Name Change a government office?

No. We are a private documentation consultancy. We are not linked to Saraswaty Press Limited, the PE&IR Department or the Department of Publication. Government fees are paid by you directly to the government on GRIPS or BharatKosh.

Where is West Bengal Name Change located?

Our office is at 3 Circus Avenue, Park Circus, Ballygunge, Kolkata 700017. The service itself is fully online, so a client in Siliguri, Malda or Purulia gets the same help on WhatsApp, phone and email without visiting us.

Who runs West Bengal Name Change?

The service is founded and run by Vipin Chauhan, a B.Tech and LL.B graduate with more than five years of direct filing experience with the Department of Publication. Our team has helped more than 5,000 clients across West Bengal.

Do you submit the Gazette application for me?

For the Kolkata Gazette Part II, we prepare everything and guide you through the online portal in your own login. For the Gazette of India, the Department of Publication accepts files only from the applicant, so we prepare and check the complete file and you post it in your own name.

Which languages do you work in?

Bengali, Hindi and English. You can talk to us in any of the three, and we prepare the affidavit and newspaper text in the language your Gazette office needs.

How is your service fee decided?

After a free document check we tell you which route you need. Our fee is then quoted separately from the government fee, so you always see both numbers before paying. If you only need a Registrar correction and no Gazette, we say so.
