Basic State Guidelines & Legal Restrictions

Publication of your new name

During the filing of your name change petition, the court might require that you publish your name in a circulating newspaper. This is a legal process required by the courts. On the day of your filing, the clerk will provide you information on where to publish your name. Once that publication has been made the courts receive "Proof of Publication" and the next step of the name change procedure is carried out.

State Filing Fees

In almost every state, the person filing the name change petition must pay the required filing fees to the courts. Please check with the fee schedule of your court or call Courtlinked for more information. These fees various from state to state/county to county. Individuals can also file a fee waiver which will dismiss the court filing fees. The clerk will provide you this document (depending your state, filing fees range from $40-$400+). Rest assure that we can submit a fee waiver for you if you are experiencing financial hardship.
