To change your name legally as an adult in Massachusetts, you need to go through a court name change proceeding. Names can also be changed as part of an adoption, divorce, or sometimes a parentage judgment. If you get married, Massachusetts law allows you to adopt any surname (last name).
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.
