Many states require individuals petitioning for a court-ordered name change to publish a public notice in the local newspaper so that anyone with an objection to the name change can also appear in court. This can be stressful, especially in high-tension situations such as a gender change, but is often legally required.
To obtain a legal name change in Montana, an applicant must submit a petition to the court. The applicant must publish notice of the hearing time and place in a county newspaper for four weeks. The applicant may request the petition and hearing to be sealed for their safety.
In most cases, you must file a petition with your local court to change your name. To do so, you may need to file paperwork and appear before a judge to complete the process. Find your local government website and contact your circuit court to get information about how you can legally change your name.
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.
Go to the Clerk of District Courts office in your county courthouse. File the original Petition for Name Change, Order Setting Hearing, and Notice of Hearing on Name Change. If you cant afford the filing fees, ask the Clerk of District Court for an Affidavit of Inability to Pay.
