Overview: Name Change After Divorce
For many, reclaiming a maiden name or adopting a new surname after divorce is a vital step toward a new beginning.

We provide compassionate and expert legal support to help you through this transition, managing the entire Gazette process so you can focus on your future with a correctly documented legal identity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Gazette notification required to revert to my maiden name? ▼
Yes. While some institutions might accept a divorce decree for minor updates, a Gazette notification is mandatory for Passports, major Banking updates, and all legal transactions requiring permanent proof of identity change.
What if I don't have a certified copy of my divorce decree? ▼
You will need to obtain a certified copy from the court where your divorce was finalized. The Gazette office requires this as the primary evidence for the name change.
Can I change my children's surnames after divorce? ▼
Yes, you can. However, it often requires explicit custody rights or an NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the other parent. Our team can evaluate your specific case and advise on the documentation.
