What's involved in changing a name?
Your name is your legal identification. A birth certificate gives a newborn their legal identity.
Changing a name is really changing the person’s legal identity. This can be done through a number of legal contracts- marriage or adoption are very common means.
If a person wants to change their name outside of these events they must petition the court. The court’s role is to make sure you are changing your name for a valid reason.
Our document assembly system creates all the legal documents you need to file the name change petition in court. The Kit comes with step-by-step instructions on how to file the petition.
Once the court approves your petition, you now have the necessary proof you have legally changed your name to update all of your vital records like a drivers license, passport, social security card, bank records or employment records. |
