Your affidavit, made on Delhi stamp paper and notarized in Delhi, is legally valid. However, for a name change in the Central Gazette you must comply with the Government of India’s name change procedure, which requires an affidavit, newspaper publication, and Gazette notification. Since your records belong to Kerala authorities may ask for additional verification, such as local ID proof. You should consult a legal professional or notary to ensure compliance with Gazette norms and to address any objections from authorities.

An affidavit can be notarized in any state inside the territory of India.

The affidavit might be legitimate and desirable in any state in India.

However, care should be taken at some point of stamping the affidavit, as each nation has distinct stamp obligation, consequently care need to be taken to keep away from understamping of affidavit.
