Name Change Order

A Name Change Order is a legal document issued by a court that officially changes an individual’s legal name. The order typically includes the person’s current name, the new name they will be assuming, and the reason for the change. Name changes can be requested for various reasons, such as marriage, divorce, adoption, or personal preference. To obtain a name change order, a petition must be filed with the court, along with supporting documentation and the required filing fees. Once the court approves the petition, the name change order is issued, and the individual can use their new name for legal purposes, such as updating identification documents and financial records.
