Affidavit for Name Change The first step for an online name change is drafting an affidavit for a name change. You need to obtain an e-stamp paper of Rs. 10 or Rs. 20 or the minimum value required by the respective state.
Name change actions can take anywhere from a day to six (6) months (sometimes even longer). The time it takes for such action to be ordered/decreed varies not only from county to county, but sometimes from courthouse to courthouse as well.
The process starts by filing a petition to change your legal name. This is usually done in person or online through the district clerks office in the county where the applicant lives.
