Return to article: How to Change Your Name
on 12/7/2007 All of the above is great, but I had to a bit more digging to find more detailed information. If you check out this website -- http://www.namechangelaw.com -- you can click on your individual state and get information on what's required to petition your local state court for free. They charge a fee to prepare the forms, etc. for you. Once you "legally" change your name, you still have to register the change with the social security department, passport office, your DMV, etc. Free information and forms for this stuff can be found at http://www.newlastname.org
on 2/23/2008 Thanks... This helped
on 5/12/2008 to: Blossom this site gave me the most information http://newlastname.org/fl-florida/legal-name-change I think it is the standard format for Florida, if anything go to the court house in your district and the clerk should be able to help you out also, i learned you need to get your fingerprinting card from your local police agency, notarized the paper format you will find it on the link go to the bottom you should be able to read your options, and just see what happens. good luck.
on 5/12/2008 the information posted my pearlwhite were very helpful. I am in the situation where I am married, and after giving myself about a year to get used to his name I find it ,that i don't like it, its to long compare to mine and 99.9% of people can't pronounce the darn name right much less write the name unless he or she is greek.
on 6/13/2007 Even though it seems the links leading to this and other sites also discuss changing names after or during bankruptcy, I havent found any info on this. I live in Florida, Seminole County, part of Orlando. Can you help? Thanks. Deborah Robles
