Questions about the change of name post-marriage affidavit
Is the marriage certificate enough to change my surname?
Some offices accept the marriage certificate alone; many also ask for an affidavit (and sometimes a newspaper ad). The affidavit makes the link between your two names clear.
How much does an affidavit cost?
The full set — drafting, e-stamp paper and notary — costs ₹400 to ₹1,800 depending on the document. We tell you the exact price before we start.
Do I need to come to the office?
Yes, for a notarised affidavit the person making it (the deponent) signs in front of the notary. Everything else — the details and the draft — can be done on WhatsApp first.
Which stamp paper is used for an affidavit in Karnataka?
An affidavit is stamped under Article 4 of the Karnataka Stamp Act — ₹100 e-stamp paper. Bonds such as an indemnity bond use their own article.
