Gazette Publication – Name Change of minor

Changing your child’s name officially in Kerala becomes simple with Gazette publication. If your child is a minor (below 18 years), parents or legal guardians can apply for a name change on behalf of the child. You may choose any name of your will and wish, and once the Gazette notification is published, the new name becomes legally valid for all future purposes such as education, passport, Aadhaar, and government records.
