Gazette Office Address for Name Change from Tripura
Your Gazette name change file has exactly one destination: the Department of Publication, Civil Lines, Delhi 110054. There is no Gazette counter in Agartala or anywhere in Tripura. This page gives you the real address, the phone numbers, the timings, the addresses that waste people's originals, and the three ways your file travels there from Tripura without you losing a single page.
The Gazette office for a name change from Tripura is the Department of Publication, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Civil Lines, Delhi 110054, behind the Vidhan Sabha Metro Station. It is the only Central Gazette office in India. There is no Gazette counter in Agartala. From Tripura your file reaches it by Speed Post in your own name, by travelling, or by hand delivery through our Delhi head office.
The address question sounds small. It is where most Tripura applicants lose their originals. Websites show a "Gazette office, Agartala" with a Delhi pin code, or point you to the Government of India Press on Minto Road, or to a book shop on Baba Kharak Singh Marg. Post your only newspaper pages to any of those and they are gone, and the Department does not return documents even when they reach the right place. So here is the one address that is correct, and how you get your file to it safely.

The Gazette office address for your name change file
Write the address on your request letter and on the envelope exactly like this:
Department of Publication
Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India
Civil Lines, Delhi 110054
The request letter inside your file is addressed to the Controller of Publications at this address, asks for publication of the enclosed notice in Part IV of the Gazette of India, lists the enclosures, and gives your phone number and email. The full document list is on the documents required page.
The building sits in the Civil Lines area of North Delhi, behind the old Delhi Vidhan Sabha building, off Khyber Pass Road. It is a working Government office, not a shop front. If you are looking at a map, the plus code M6QF+6F3 points to the Department's sales counter and main office.
How to reach the Gazette office in Delhi from Tripura
Agartala to Delhi
Fly from Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport, Agartala, to Delhi. Direct flights exist; many route through Kolkata or Guwahati. Allow a full day each way.
Metro
From Delhi Airport, the Airport Express to New Delhi, then the Yellow Line north to Vidhan Sabha station. The office is behind the old Vidhan Sabha, a short walk. Do not get off at Civil Lines station; the area and the station share a name but the office is nearer Vidhan Sabha.
Timing
Reach before the forenoon counter window opens. The counter keeps short hours, and a file that arrives after the window means another day in Delhi.

Three ways your Gazette file gets from Tripura to Civil Lines
The Department accepts your application personally or by post or courier, in your own name. These are the three honest ways to do that from Tripura.
You travel and submit in person
You carry the file to the counter yourself, hand it over in the forenoon window, and receive the acknowledgement on the spot. The safest for the originals, the most expensive in time and fares from Tripura, and any query at the counter needs you back again.
You post it by Speed Post
You send the complete file by India Post Speed Post from any head post office in Tripura, addressed exactly as above, in your own name. Cheap, but your only newspaper pages and your affidavit are in a parcel, and a query comes back to you by post weeks later.
It goes by hand through our Delhi office
Your file is checked at Capital Complex in Agartala, carried to our Delhi head office, and delivered to the Civil Lines counter in your name. You get the acknowledgement the same day, and if the counter wants something adjusted, it is handled in Delhi, not sent back to Tripura.
How a Gazette file travels from Agartala to the Delhi counter
The Agartala end of this journey, hand delivery against courier and the desk checks, is on Gazette name change in Agartala.
Day 0, Tripura
You send scans on WhatsApp. Every page is checked for spelling against your ID. You sign the typed pages and get the affidavit notarised in your district.
Day 1 to 3, Agartala
Originals reach Capital Complex, or you hand them in. The file is assembled in the Department's order and the BharatKosh receipt is printed.
Day 3 to 6, in transit
The sealed file travels to our Delhi head office at Hardev Nagar. It never goes through a mail room addressed to a Government building.
Day 6 to 8, Civil Lines
Delivered at the counter in the forenoon window, in your name. Acknowledgement collected and sent to you the same day. The 30 to 45 day clock starts.
From here the file is with the Department. The Saturday search and the free download are on check status and download your Gazette copy, and what a returned file means is on time, fees and rejection reasons.
What each way of reaching the Gazette office costs you
The Government fee is the same whichever way the file travels. The difference is what the journey costs and what you risk.
| Way | Your cost beyond the Government fee | Risk to your originals | If the counter raises a query |
|---|---|---|---|
| Travel yourself | Return fares Agartala to Delhi, one or two nights, local travel | Low, you carry them | Another trip, or a long wait |
| Speed Post | Postage, a few hundred rupees | Highest: originals in a parcel to a mail room | Reply by post, weeks lost |
| Through our Delhi office | Our service charge, quoted per case as a separate line | Low, carried by hand | Handled in Delhi the same week |
The Government fee itself is commonly Rs 1,100 for an adult and Rs 1,700 for a minor, paid on BharatKosh as shown on the fee payment page, revised each financial year, and non-refundable. Package pricing is on the services page.
What happens when your file reaches the Gazette office
The counter receives the envelope, checks that the request letter, the proforma in duplicate, the undertaking, the newspaper pages, the affidavit, the IDs, the photographs, the soft copy with its certificate and the BharatKosh receipt are all present, and stamps an acknowledgement. That stamped receipt is your proof of filing and carries the reference you quote in any later call or email to the Department.
If something is missing or does not match, the counter says so there and then. That single fact is the strongest argument for hand delivery: a query answered on the spot costs nothing, while the same query by post from Tripura costs you weeks and, if the newspaper page has to be reprinted, money.
After acceptance the file joins the Department's queue. Part IV of the Gazette of India is published on a weekly cycle, and personal notices commonly appear 30 to 45 days after acceptance. You then download the PDF free from egazette.gov.in. Nothing is posted back to you, and nothing you submitted is returned.
Why there is no Gazette office in Tripura
The Gazette of India is a Central Government publication, and the Department of Publication that runs it has one office, in Delhi. It has no branches in state capitals. Every state, from Kerala to Tripura, sends its Part IV notices to the same counter. That is not a gap in Tripura; it is how the Central Gazette works everywhere.
What Tripura does have is the Tripura Government Press in Agartala, which prints the Tripura Gazette, the state's own weekly record of Government notifications. It is a different publication with no published route for a private name change, which is why it is not the answer to "where is the Gazette office in Agartala". The full comparison is on Central Gazette vs Tripura State Gazette.
Gazette words used on this page, explained
A short glossary, so nothing on this page needs looking up.
- Central Gazette
- The Gazette of India, published by the Department of Publication at Civil Lines, Delhi. It is accepted in every office in India, including every office in Tripura, and by foreign missions.
- Tripura Gazette
- The weekly gazette published by the Tripura Government Press in Agartala. It carries Government orders and notifications and has no published route for a personal name change.
- Part IV
- The section of the Gazette of India that carries notices from private people rather than from the Government. A personal name change appears here and nowhere else.
- Proforma
- The typed page that becomes your Gazette notice. It is filed in two identical copies, signed in your existing old name, and witnessed by two people.
- CD certificate
- A signed page declaring that the soft copy and the hard copy of your notice carry the same matter, that you are responsible for any mismatch and for the quality of the CD, and that the file is in MS Word format.
- Request letter
- The covering letter addressed to the Controller, Publication Department, Civil Line, Delhi 110054, stating that the formalities are complete and the documents are enclosed.
- Affidavit
- A written statement you swear is true before a notary. For a name change it records your old name, your new name, your parent's or husband's name, your address and the reason.
- Deponent
- The person who swears an affidavit. For a minor's name change the deponent is a parent, never the child.
- Verification clause
- The closing paragraph of an affidavit stating the place and date and confirming that the contents are true to the best of your knowledge and belief.
- Two witnesses
- The Gazette notice carries two witnesses, each giving a signature, a full name and a complete address. Initials or a partial address are a common reason a file is returned.
- Newspaper notice
- The same wording published in one Bengali daily and one English daily circulating in Tripura. The complete original page of each is kept, because a cutting is refused.
- BharatKosh
- The Non-Tax Receipt Portal at bharatkosh.gov.in, the only accepted channel for the Central Gazette fee.
Reaching the Gazette office from every district of Tripura
The destination is the same from Sabroom to Kanchanpur. Only the first leg, from your town to Agartala, changes.
From Udaipur, Dharmanagar, Kailashahar, Belonia, Ambassa or Khowai, your originals reach Capital Complex by courier or in person, and from there the file travels by hand. You never address an envelope to a Government building.
