  1. Click ‘Get Form’ to open the name change instructions in the editor.
  2. Begin by completing the Petition for Change of Name. Ensure you provide complete names, including middle names, and check your spelling carefully to avoid delays.
  3. If both parents consent to the name change, file the Petition along with the Consent for Change of Name in your local Circuit Court. If only one parent is filing, ensure you notify the other parent and obtain their consent if possible.
  4. After filing, request a hearing date from the court clerk. Prepare for this by completing the Final Judgment of Change of Name form, leaving sections blank for the judge.
  5. Once you receive a signed Order from the Judge, promptly notify all relevant agencies and individuals about your new name.
