About Tripura Name Change, Agartala
We are a documentation desk in Agartala that does one thing well: legal name change for the people of Tripura. Affidavit, Bengali and English newspaper notices, the Central Gazette notification and the record updates after it. 2000+ cases so far, every one filed in the applicant's own name and checked letter by letter before it printed.
Tripura Name Change is a private documentation consultancy in Agartala, founded by Vipin Chauhan, B.Tech LL.B. The desk has handled 2000+ name change cases for residents of Tripura. Documents are collected and checked at the Capital Complex office in Agartala, and the Central Gazette file is submitted through the head office in Delhi. We are not a Government office.
Most people who call us have already been given wrong information somewhere. A "gazette office in Agartala" that does not exist. A price of Rs 999 that turns out to be an affidavit. A birth certificate "fixed" by a Gazette that fixed nothing. We started this desk because name change in Tripura is a simple process that is made confusing by people selling the wrong thing.
So here is exactly who we are, what we have done, and how we work. If after reading this you decide you can do the job yourself, that is a good outcome too. The homepage explains the full process for free.

Who files your name change in Tripura
Anyone can type an affidavit. The question is who has stood at the Gazette counter and knows why files come back.
Vipin Chauhan, B.Tech LL.B, founded Tripura Name Change and runs the documentation desk. He has 5+ years of direct filing experience with the Department of Publication in Civil Lines, Delhi, the one office in India that publishes personal name change notices in Part IV of the Gazette of India. Every process detail on this website comes from files he has actually prepared and followed through to publication, not from copied web content.
That experience matters for Tripura in a specific way. Names in Bengali and Kokborok often have two or three accepted English spellings. Debbarma and Deb Barma. Chakma and Chakmaa. Reang and Riang. A file where the affidavit, the newspaper and the form disagree by one letter is returned, and the fee is lost. Knowing where those mismatches hide is most of the job.
2000+ name change cases in Tripura
What those cases look like, so you can see whether yours is one we have handled before.
Gazette name change
Full name, first name or surname changes through the Central Gazette, the largest share of our 2000+ Tripura cases.
Surname after marriage
Women in Agartala, Udaipur and Belonia changing to a married surname, usually with a passport re-issue at PSK Agartala next.
Spelling corrections
Bengali and Kokborok names with a wrong English spelling that followed the person from school records into Aadhaar and PAN.
Minor name change
Parents fixing a child's name before TBSE board exams, so the Class 10 certificate carries the right name for life.
Government employees
Tripura State Government and central employees whose service book needed a Gazette in the series their department asked for.
Cases we turned away
Birth certificate corrections and Aadhaar-only surname additions, where we told the caller the free or Registrar route was enough.
How a name change case moves from Agartala to the Gazette
Three steps on your side. The rest is ours.
You send scans
WhatsApp 9540005064 with a photo ID, address proof and the new name you want. Or walk into the Capital Complex office. We reply the same working day with what your case needs and what it will cost.
You confirm the spelling in writing
We type the affidavit and the newspaper notice, send you the exact wording, and wait for your yes. Only then is anything notarised or printed in a Bengali or English daily.
We file and track
The Delhi head office assembles the Gazette file, pays the fee on BharatKosh and tracks it. In 30 to 45 days we send you the published PDF and a checklist of which record to update next.
How Tripura Name Change quotes fees
Two lines, always. Here is why.
| Line | Amount | Who it goes to |
|---|---|---|
| Central Gazette fee, adult | Commonly Rs 1,100 | Government of India, through BharatKosh. Revised each financial year, confirmed on the day of filing. |
| Central Gazette fee, minor | Commonly Rs 1,700 | Government of India, through BharatKosh. |
| Stamp paper, notary, two newspapers | Rs 1,000 to Rs 4,500 | Third parties in Tripura. Actual bills shared with you. |
| Our service charge | Quoted per case | Tripura Name Change. Fixed before you pay anything. |
We quote per case rather than publishing one price, because a plain adult name change and a minor name change with a custody order are different amounts of work. What never changes is the split. You can always see how much reaches the Government and how much is for our work. If someone quotes you a single "all inclusive" figure below the Government fee, ask which Gazette they mean.
