Publishing a name change ad in a newspaper is usually required for correcting a minor child’s name in their passport. This step acts as a public announcement of the name change, ensuring transparency and legal validity. Many passport offices ask for a copy of the newspaper ad as proof along with other documents during the application process.

With Ads2Publish, booking a name change ad is quick and easy. You can select popular newspapers like The Hindu, Times of India, or regional ones based on your preference. Ads2Publish helps you draft the ad, pick a publication date, and complete the process online, making it hassle-free.

The ad should include the child’s old name, new name, parent or guardian’s details, and a statement confirming the name change. Make sure all details are correct to avoid any issues during the passport application.
