What is the main Gazette Office address in Karnataka?<\/summary>\r\n                <p class=\"mt-2\">The main gazette office that deals with personal name change applications in Karnataka is the Government Press, Unit-1, 8th Mile, Mysore Road, R.V. Vidyaniketan College Post, Bengaluru Urban \u2013 560059. This office receives most name change gazette applications from throughout the state.<\/p>\r\n            <\/details>\r\n            <details class=\"bg-white border border-stone-200 rounded-xl p-4\">\r\n                <summary class=\"font-bold cursor-pointer list-none\">Q2.

Can I apply at any district gazette office in Karnataka?<\/summary>\r\n                <p class=\"mt-2\">The state government publications are the main responsibility of the government press office at the district level in Karnataka. Most districts don't have any specific counter for taking applications for the change of name in the gazette; applications are handled by the Bengaluru Mysore Road unit. The easiest and the solution to all the districts is the online Central e-Gazette portal, egazette.nic.in.<\/p>\r\n            <\/details>\r\n            <details class=\"bg-white border border-stone-200 rounded-xl p-4\">\r\n                <summary class=\"font-bold cursor-pointer list-none\">Q4.

Is there a gazette office in Mysore, Hubli, or Mangalore for name changes?<\/summary>\r\n                <p class=\"mt-2\">The government has press units in Mysore, Hubli and Mangalore, but they rather print and publish work of the State government and not the applications for changing names. The citizens of these cities are recommended to apply on the online Central e-Gazette portal from anywhere in India.<\/p>\r\n            <\/details>\r\n            <details class=\"bg-white border border-stone-200 rounded-xl p-4\">\r\n                <summary class=\"font-bold cursor-pointer list-none\">Q6.

No appointment is necessary for the online path. Only if you wish to submit your application in person or the application requires verification of your documents in person will the offline office visit be required.<\/p>\r\n            <\/details>\r\n            <details class=\"bg-white border border-stone-200 rounded-xl p-4\">\r\n                <summary class=\"font-bold cursor-pointer list-none\">Q8.
