There are two types of name changes in the state of Wyoming. But depending on your situation there may be other forms you need to complete. It can often be confusing trying to determine what forms need to be filled out. Then you must navigate the court system to file and complete your case.

Wyoming Name Change makes this process easy. We walk you through filling out all the needed forms for your name change. We also generate the completed legal documents for you. Our site then walks you through the process of filing with the court and completing your case.

What does it cost to use your site?

Wyoming Name Change is currently free! Right now, you can create name change documents free of charge. This is our way of saying thank you to the community as we work together to perfect our service. All we ask is that you consider giving us feedback when you complete the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Let's put your mind at ease.

What service does Wyoming Name offer?

Can you help me update my gender?

Yes! Wyoming Name Change can help you update your gender on state and federal documents. This is an important part of the name change process for many people in the transgender community.

Wyoming allows you to update the gender on your Driver’s License if you no longer identify with your birth gender. This requires a medical or mental health provider to sign a Gender Designation Change Request form conforming it.

Changing the gender on a Wyoming birth certificate is harder and requires a court order. Our site can help you change the gender on a driver’s license. But we cannot help with the birth certificate update process.

Updating the gender on your social security card and US passport is a bit harder. These federal documents still require a letter of medical treatment. But we can help you with the process if you qualify.

Most customers should at least be able to update their driver’s license gender with the state. This makes sure your driver’s license is correct and reflects who you are.

What does it cost to use your site?

We charge a subscription fee of $9 per month to use the interviews on our site to generate name change forms.

‍This allows us to keep our information and forms up to date. Your support also helps us develop other websites like this one to help with different legal issues.
