Hi Truster,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

"Just I am announcing the change of name..."

Or

"I am changing the name, who ever has concerns can contact Indian consulate..."?

Q1) Which of the above is acceptable format for Indian consulate?

Also we need the original paper copy of the ad. when we submit the application for name change.

Q2) Did Ads2book sent you some copies to Germany (for extra payment) or Did you ask your local contacts to send it to Germany?

Q3) What is format to put the ad. Germany? Just translate the Indian ad. format to Germany and publish?

I googled for weeks to get some info regarding the format etc. but no clear leads.

Truster, I request you to kindly guide me on the above question from your first hand experience.

Thanks a lot.
Kumaran

Q2 Q3

Also, there is a waiting time of 30 days once the name change is published and then you can submit the forms

Hi Truster,

I contacted Ads2book but they say I need to submit Notorised Affidavit from Indian consulate for publishing the ad. What is this new stuff.

Could you please kindly let me know your contact numbers so that I can talk to you personally to get my things clarified. My Id: elangkumaran@indiatimes.com

Regards
Kumaran

This is the reply from Ads2book.

Dear Sir,

As per company policy and legal guidelines we require a Notarised Affidavit
for the publication of the same. In case you are based outside India, we
require a Notarised Affidavit Attested by the Consulate General of India /
Indian Embassy. The ad cannot be published in any of the Publications unless
we receive the required documentation mentioned above by e-mail (as
attachment) post, 5 days prior to publishing date. The document must also
include father's name & address (same as to be published in the ad text).

Regards,
Saba
