Preparing to Fill Out Forms

Make sure the person changing their name qualifies.

  • The person changing their name must have lived in the county where the petition is going to be filed for at least two consecutive years.
  • The person changing their name must be 18 years of age or older. Or have their parent(s) or legal guardian(s) file the petition for them.
  • The name that the applicant is changing to cannot be a curse word, racial slur, or something considered obscene or offensive.
  • Please be aware - Name changes for minors under the age of 18 can be tricky. The permission of both parents is not required. However, a judge is more likely to allow a name change when both parents have agreed.
  • Please be aware - You cannot change your name to avoid legal actions. Also, you cannot change your name to illegally get money as someone else.

  • The city, county, and state that the person changing their name was born in
