Employee Name Change

Request for a name change has to be dealt with in a systematic manner since it has wide ramifications. The concerned employee has to submit an affidavit, get it published in a local newspaper, and finally, a Gazette notification is a must. He has to submit all the above three documents for his name change.

You need to have a copy of the name change published in a newspaper and an attested copy of the name change through the court.

Thank you.

Dear Anoop,

Nukani is right, you should ask for a gazetted copy. Only then will the employee receive their future benefits from the employer. If the employee has not applied for it, ask them to publish and obtain a copy.

Hi,

He needs to obtain a Name Change Affidavit on Stamp Paper duly attested by a Public Notary. A photocopy of the same will suffice to amend the database and other records at your organization.

Yes, definitely, you need to get the proof. Tell him to wait until he receives all the necessary documents for the change of name.
