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).
Many Massachusetts residents are unaware that, as an adult, a person can change his or her name, legally, for absolutely any reason, so long as the reason is considered valid by the Probate and Family Court (this really means that a person cannot seek a name change for fraudulent reasons).
In New York, you can change your name without going to court. You can just start using your new name. However, it may be better to ask a court to change your name. Most government agencies or businesses (like the DMV, Social Security Administration, and airlines) will not accept your new name without a court order.
Its a long process. While a legal document such as a marriage certificate or court granted petition will allow you to change your name, it wont be truly official until youve submitted name change applications with the Social Security Administration, the DMV, and other relevant institutions.
To prove your legal name change, you must show one of the following documents: Marriage document. Divorce decree. Certificate of naturalization showing a new name.
