Going through a divorce often brings the desire to close one chapter and begin anew — and for many, that includes reverting to a previous name. Whether it’s about reclaiming your maiden name or simply shedding an identity tied to a past relationship, the law supports your right to make that change.
✅ Fresh Start – Reclaim your pre-marriage identity.
✅ Legal Recognition – Update records post-divorce.
✅ Emotional Closure – Let go of a name that no longer serves you.
Divorce often marks a fresh chapter — and part of reclaiming your identity may involve a legal name change. If your current name no longer reflects who you are, the Indian legal system allows you to formally update it with dignity and ease.
Many divorced individuals choose to revert to their maiden name or select a new one altogether. At ApplyNameChange.in, we streamline the process so you can confidently move forward with a name that reflects your independence and future.
