Dear Seniors,
In my office, one of our employees converted from Christianity to Islam two months ago. As a result, his previous certificates and government proofs are in his old name. He has requested a name change in our employee database. Do we need to obtain any proof from the court to confirm the name change, or can we proceed with a name change request in letter format? Your guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. If there is a specific procedure to follow, could you please provide detailed instructions?
Anticipating your response!

The person has to apply for Gazette Certificate for a name change. Once he/she receives it, you have to take a copy of that and then you can change the name of the employee in the organization's system.
Once the employee receives the Gazette Certificate, also ask him to apply for a name change on the PAN card and in banks where the person holds the account.

Gazette certificate is a must for a person to change his/her name, then one must change all the legal records, like identity proof, education certificates, etc., - M.G.K.Monian

Dear All, The change in one’s name can be published in either state government gazette or in the Gazette of India. For Gazette of India, visit the name change, gazette of india on the Google.

Apart from changing the name in Passport, PAN card, etc., Gazette Notification is the most important. Once that is done, there will be no hassles for changing the name in an employee's records.

Dear all,
Unless the employee provides a copy of the gazette notification to the employer along with a written request for a change in his name or other details in the personal file, no changes should be made until then. This is for your safety.
