FAQs

 
 

Name Change:

+ Do I need an attorney to do my name change petition?

If you have two thousand dollars to waste, then make an appointment with an attorney. Otherwise, the process is simple and straightforward. You do not need an attorney to do a name change. We will prepare your paperwork in a jiffy and mail them to you with specific instructions.
+ I am a victim of Domestic Abuse. Do I have to notify my spouse of my name change petition?

If you take part in certain witness protection programs or have registered with the Safe at Home program, your name change petition can remain confidential.
+ Do I have to pay a court fee to file my petition?

Yes. However, if you qualify, you may ask for a fee waiver from the court.
+ Why do I have to publish my name change request?

It is a legal requirement to publish your name change request to give people notice and allow them the opportunity to object to your request. Typically, no one objects and petitions are granted routinely.
+ How long does the name change process take?

Typically you will get a court date 6 to 12 weeks after you file your request.
+ I filed a name change request and the court denied my request because I had a traffic ticket I hadn't paid. Is that legal?

Yes. The court can require that you pay your traffic ticket before it grants your name change petition. Remember that a court can deny your petition if it feels that you are changing your name to defraud creditors or not pay your debts.
+ I am on probation. Can I change my name?

Probably not. You must get permission from your probation officer to change your name. You cannot change your name to commit fraud or to hide from the law or the police. Also, if you are incarcerated, the Department of Corrections has to give its permission before you can change your name.
+ I want to change my name to Barrack Obama. Can I do that?

No you can't! Any name that could confuse the public or use the name of a famous person or celebrity will be denied.
+ I want to change my name to Osama Bin Laden or Adolf Hitler. Why can't I do that?

Any name that could incite violence or be taken as offensive or as a racial slur will be denied.
