Legal Gazette Process in Rajasthan
Citizens residing across Rajasthan seeking to change their legal name, surname, or rectify spelling discrepancies in sovereign documents must comply with both central statutory directives and state-specific stamp regulations. Under the Rajasthan Stamp Act, 1998, all formal affidavits for name changes must be sworn on a ₹100 Non-Judicial E-Stamp Paper before a registered Notary Public or Executive Magistrate within Rajasthan.
While the state maintains the Rajasthan Rajpatra (Government Central Press, Jaipur), publication in The Gazette of India (Central Gazette, Civil Lines, Delhi) is strongly recommended for all citizens. Only the Central Gazette is unconditionally accepted by the Ministry of External Affairs for passport re-issuance, foreign embassies for immigration dossiers, and nationalized financial institutions.
