Dear Seniors,
In my office, one of our employees converted from Christianity to Islam two months ago. As a result, his previous certificates and government proofs are in his old name. He has requested a name change in our employee database. Do we need to obtain any proof from the court to confirm the name change, or can we proceed with a name change request in letter format? Your guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. If there is a specific procedure to follow, could you please provide detailed instructions?
Anticipating your response!

Procedure for Name Change After Conversion
The person has to apply for a Gazette Certificate for a name change. Once he/she receives it, you have to take a copy of that, and then you can change the name of the employee in the organization's system.
Once the employee receives the Gazette Certificate, also ask him to apply for a name change on the PAN card and in banks where the person holds the account.

Apart from changing the name in the Passport, PAN card, etc., Gazette Notification is the most important. Once that is done, there will be no hassles in changing the name in an employee's records.

Dear all, Unless the employee provides a copy of the gazette notification to the employer along with a written request for a change in his name or other details in the personal file, no changes should be made until then. This is for your safety.

Authenticity of Documents for Name Change
Unless the Gazette Notification is obtained, such submissions should not be entertained based solely on voter ID, bank passbook, ration card, or driving license, as everyone in this country is aware of how authentic they are.

Dear Anoop, Nukani is right; you should ask for a gazetted copy. Only then will the employee receive their future benefits from the employer. If the employee has not applied for it, ask them to publish and obtain a copy.
