Newspaper Ad Types for Name Change:

To publish a Change of Name announcement in a newspaper, you need to select from two advertising formats:

1. Classified Text Ad:

The most affordable option for a name change advertisement within the newspaper is the Classified Text advertisement. Classified Text Ads are charged per word or line and allow you to write only short content that includes your old and new names, father's name, your address and the effective date of the change with essential contact information.

This format is the most preferred option of name-change advertisers because of the low cost and ease of ad booking with minimal lead time for urgent legal or administrative requirements.

2. Classified Display Ad:

A Classified Display Ad allows for greater creativity due to the presence of borders, different fonts, and images that can be incorporated into the name change ad and thus, make it more appealing.

These advertisements are a bit expensive than Classified Text ads because the minimum size accepted is 4 x 5 centimeters, and they are charged per square centimeter.

With a Classified Display Ad format, you get the flexibility to design and customize your ad effectively, which can enhance visibility and receive maximum attention from the readers.

This type of advertising especially caters to those who would like to make a statement rather than someone concerned with spending too much money.
