Publishing a change of name announcement in a newspaper is an essential step for legal recognition in Nigeria.
This process ensures that your new name is officially acknowledged and can be used to update important documents such as your passport, national ID, or bank records.
Below are the detailed requirements to successfully publish your name change announcement:
Previous Name
Your previous name must be provided exactly as it appears on your official documents.
