Bank name change in SBI HDFC ICICI in Karnataka
Quick answer: The name change process is broadly the same across SBI, HDFC, and ICICI: you submit a name change request or KYC update form at your branch, along with proof of the name change such as a marriage certificate or a gazette, and your updated Aadhaar and PAN. The differences are small, mainly the form name and whether it is done at the branch or partly online. Your account number stays the same, and you get a reissued passbook, cheque book, and card. In short: same proof, slightly different form per bank.

This is a bank-specific guide. For the full process, see the main bank name change guide.

The shared basics

What Is Common to All Banks

Before the bank-wise details, know this: every bank in India follows the same core rule. To change your name they need official proof of the change, and your Aadhaar and PAN should already show the new name. The request is usually made at your home branch with a short form and a letter.

  • Proof of name change — a marriage certificate or a gazette.
  • Updated Aadhaar and PAN — showing the new name.
  • A request letter or KYC form — submitted at the branch.
  • Same account number — only the name is updated.
Good to know: get the proof right and any bank will accept it. For the letter, see our application letter format.
State Bank of India

Name Change in SBI

SBI, being a public sector bank, handles name changes at the home branch. You submit a written request along with a KYC update, and attach your proof and updated IDs.

SBI steps

At your SBI branch

  • Give a written name change request to your home branch.
  • Attach proof, a certificate or gazette, with updated Aadhaar and PAN.
  • Complete the KYC update the branch provides.
  • Collect the reissued passbook, cheque book, and card.
HDFC Bank

Name Change in HDFC Bank

HDFC, a private bank, also processes name changes at the branch, with a KYC update form. Some steps may be initiated through the bank's channels, but the proof requirement is the same.

HDFC steps

At your HDFC branch

  • Submit a name change request and the KYC update form.
  • Attach proof, a certificate or gazette, with updated Aadhaar and PAN.
  • Provide your old and new signature if asked.
  • Collect the reissued cheque book and card in your new name.
ICICI Bank

Name Change in ICICI Bank

ICICI, another private bank, follows a similar branch-based process with a KYC update. The exact form name may differ, but the documents and outcome match the others.

ICICI steps

At your ICICI branch

  • Submit a name change request with the KYC update form.
  • Attach proof, a certificate or gazette, with updated Aadhaar and PAN.
  • Confirm the update across your accounts held with the bank.
  • Collect the reissued passbook, cheque book, and card.
The pattern: notice how similar these are. The proof is what matters, not the bank. For the official proof, see gazette name change.
What to prepare

Documents Needed Everywhere

  • Name change proof — marriage certificate or gazette notification.
  • Updated Aadhaar — showing your new name.
  • Updated PAN — showing your new name.
  • Request letter and KYC form — as your bank requires.
  • Passbook or account details — for reference at the branch.
Order matters: update Aadhaar and PAN first, then the bank, so everything matches.
Reassurance

What Stays the Same

Whichever bank you use, some things never change during a name update, and that is reassuring:

Unchanged

Your account details

  • Account number stays the same.
  • Balance, history, and links stay intact.
Reissued

Your name items

  • New passbook, cheque book, and card.
  • Updated records in your new name.

Questions and answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the name change process different in SBI, HDFC, and ICICI?
Only in small ways. All three need the same core proof, a marriage certificate or gazette, plus updated Aadhaar and PAN. The differences are mainly the form name and whether a step is done at the branch or partly online. The result is the same: your name is updated and your account number stays unchanged.
Will my account number change after a name change?
No. In every bank, your account number stays the same. Only the name on the account is updated, so your balance, history, and linked services remain intact. You receive a reissued passbook, cheque book, and card in your new name.
What proof do these banks need?
All of them need official proof of the name change, a marriage certificate for a marriage change, or a gazette notification for a divorce or a new name, along with your updated Aadhaar and PAN. Get the proof right and any bank will accept it.
Should I update Aadhaar and PAN before the bank?
Yes. Update your Aadhaar and PAN first so they show the new name, then update the bank. Banks verify against these documents, and a mismatch can delay the change. We can guide the correct order.
Can I do the bank name change online?
Some steps may be started through the bank's app or netbanking, but the name change usually needs a branch visit to submit the proof and complete the KYC update. It varies by bank, and we help you follow the right process for yours.
Can you handle the whole bank name change for me?
Yes. Tell us your bank and reason, and we will prepare the letter, arrange a gazette if needed, make sure your Aadhaar and PAN match, and guide the branch submission so your name change goes through cleanly.
