How to advertise your change of name

The notice is a public record. The steps below are the same path every applicant follows, from the first field to a published Publication ID.

1. 01

   Enter your details

   Provide your NIN, email, phone number, former name, and new name. Use the names exactly as they appear on your affidavit.

2. 02

   Give the reason

   Choose why the name is changing. If you select Other, add a short explanation so the reviewer can understand the file.

3. 03

   Upload documents

   Every application needs a sworn affidavit. If the reason is marriage, add the marriage certificate. Files must be PDF, JPG, or PNG and no larger than 10MB.

4. 04

   Review and declare

   Check every field. Confirm that the information is true, then submit. You will receive an application reference to track the file.

5. 05

   Wait for publication

   An administrator reviews the documents. If the file is approved, a Publication ID is issued and the notice appears in the public gazette.
