How to Publish a Name Change Advertisement in Hyderabad Newspapers

A Friendly Guide by People Who’ve Done This a Thousand Times Over

Changing your name isn’t just about filing a form. In Hyderabad — and across India — one of the most important legal steps is getting your name change published in a newspaper.

Why? Because it’s public proof. A declaration. And almost every official authority — from passport offices to the Gazette — will ask for it.

But don't worry. If you’re wondering where to start or which paper to choose, this quick and clear guide will help. No legal jargon. No fluff.

Why Is a Newspaper Ad for Name Change Needed?

Think of it as your formal introduction to the world — “This is my new name. Please update your records.”

Most authorities in Telangana (banks, schools, RTO, Gazette, etc.) require:

• One English newspaper (e.g., Deccan Chronicle, The Hindu)
• One regional newspaper (Eenadu, Sakshi, or Siasat in Urdu)

Publishing in both makes your name change hard to dispute and easy to verify.

Which Newspapers Are Best in Hyderabad?

You don’t need to go national. Just go reliable and recognized. Here’s what works:

🔹 English Newspapers:

• Deccan Chronicle
• The Hindu (Hyderabad edition)
• The Times of India
• Hans India

🔸 Telugu Newspapers:

• Eenadu
• Sakshi
• Namaste Telangana
• Andhra Jyothi

🔸 Urdu Newspapers:

• Siasat Daily
• Munsif Daily

Popular combo: Eenadu + The Hindu works for most official purposes — including Gazette submission and bank updates.

What Should the Ad Say?

Here's a basic format:

I, [Old Name], son/daughter of [Parent’s Name], residing at [Full Address], have changed my name to [New Name] and will be known as [New Name] from now onwards. I request all authorities and persons concerned to take note.

Simple. Clear. Legally acceptable.

A Real Story from Banjara Hills

We recently helped Mr. Arjun Reddy, a startup founder from Banjara Hills, who wanted to officially add "Kumar" to his name. He’d already changed it on LinkedIn and Instagram — but when it came to his bank account and property documents, he hit a wall.

He wasn’t sure which paper would be accepted, or what the ad should say. We helped him:

• Draft his affidavit
• Choose Deccan Chronicle + Sakshi
• Publish the ad
• Guide him on next steps for Gazette and bank KYC

Within a week, his paperwork was complete. No running around. No rejections.

His reply? “This was easier than ordering biryani on Swiggy. Thanks a ton!”

What You’ll Need

Before booking your ad, make sure you have:

• A notarized affidavit (we can help with that)
• A clear ID proof (Aadhaar, PAN, etc.)
• A passport-size photo (sometimes optional)
• Your preferred newspaper names (or ask us)

How Much Will It Cost?

Here’s a rough breakdown:

Weekday bookings are cheaper. Sunday rates are higher.

5. Get the e-paper/printed copy for your records

That’s it. Once your ad is printed, it becomes an official record.

What About Other Public Notice Ads in Hyderabad?

Apart from name changes, Hyderabad residents often need public notice ads for legal matters like property disputes, lost documents, society share certificates, or court summons. These are commonly published in papers like Eenadu, Deccan Chronicle, and Siasat to notify the public or concerned parties. For instance, if you’ve lost your property papers or are transferring ownership, publishing a notice is often mandatory. We handle these too — with the right format, legal vetting, and newspaper selection. If you're unsure where to start, we’re just a call or WhatsApp away. One quick message, and we’ll handle it from there.
