In most states, a change in surname following a marriage takes only a few weeks. In some cases, the process can take several months. If you are getting divorced, the name change can be done as part of the divorce process. For all other name change requests, a petition must be filed with your states court system.
For most purposes a deed poll will be accepted to change documents, but there are some important exceptions. Birth and marriage certificates cannot be changed. However, your deed poll together with your birth certificate will be sufficient for the passport office to issue you with a passport in the new name.
In order to legally change a name you must file a Verified Petition For Adult Name Change form with the clerk of courts office in the county where you reside provided you have resided there for more than six months. You will also be required to pay the civil case filing fee.
