Overview
What the religion-change process actually involves
A change of religion is documented through a legal process so it is recognised in official records.
The standard three steps: a notarised affidavit declaring the change, publication in newspapers, and notification in the official gazette.
The gazette notification is the government's official record — needed for updating passports, licences, and other documents.
The process is administrative, not religious — no ceremony is required or validated by it.
Once gazetted, the change can be used to update all official records consistently.

Complete three-step process
Affidavit, newspaper publication, gazette notification — the three steps, done in the right order with correct formats.
Properly drafted affidavit
The affidavit must state the change clearly and be properly notarised. We draft it correctly the first time.
Publication text prepared
Newspaper advertisements have specific content requirements — we prepare the text for both publications.
Gazette filing handled
The gazette application needs the affidavit, publications, and ID proofs in order. We compile and file it.
Documents
Documents you will usually need
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across every record — that's what the MCA checks first. Tick what you already have below.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.

Changing your religion is a personal matter — but updating it in official records requires a legal process: an affidavit, newspaper publication, and gazette notification. We handle the documentation so the change is recognised everywhere.
Yes — the standard process is: (1) a notarised affidavit declaring the change, (2) publication in two newspapers (one English, one local language), and (3) notification in the official gazette. We manage all three steps.
Typically 4–8 weeks end to end — the affidavit and publications move quickly; gazette processing time varies by state.
The gazette notification is the government's official record of the change — it is what makes the change recognised across departments for passports, licences, and records.
No — the process is the same for adults. For minors, a parent or guardian acts on their behalf.
Quote-based. Request a quote and we will walk you through the steps.
No. The legal process only documents the change in official records — it doesn't require or validate any religious ceremony. Your personal practice of faith is your own matter.
