Description

Changing your name in Nigeria requires following recognized legal and procedural steps. Two of the most important are preparing a sworn affidavit and publishing a name change announcement in a national newspaper. These documents are essential for updating records with government agencies, banks, schools, employers, and other institutions.

At Publish, we make the entire process simple, fast, and stress-free by providing you with all the documents and support you need for a valid name change.

Why Do You Need Change of Name Documents?

Whether you are changing your name due to:

Marriage or Divorce
Correction of Errors (spelling, arrangement, or date of birth)
Personal Preference
Official Requirements (banks, passport, NIN, BVN, school records, etc.)

You will need:

A sworn affidavit (legal proof of the change).
A newspaper publication (public record of your name change, accepted by institutions nationwide).
Marriage Certificate if it is due to a change in your marital status (female only)
Decree Absolute if it is due to a divorce where the wife previously used the ex-husband’s name

These documents serve as official evidence of your change of name.
