Re: Name change

you are required to go to a lawyer and he will prepare a notice for the newspaper for the name change and then the newspaper will publish it and then you can say that your name has been changed.

the notice of lawyer is important for such publication.

For further and detailed advice please consult me personally with documents. Consultation charges will apply.
