1) Contact a lawyer to represent you.
2) Have them draft the necessary documents
3) Give them a valid reason to change your name (since the 70's, you now need a valid reason to change your name to just about anything you want though).
4) Go before a judge, if he allows it, it's done. |

1. You do not have to go through any legal procedure to change your name, but it is reccommended, because it is the only way to get the Social Security administration to take you seriously.
At Common-law you have a right to change your name, at any time, for any reason, provided there is no fraud involved. See In Re Verrill (1996).
2. Name change procedure may be done through the probate court, but it is a $90 filing fee and will take 6 months. It is also entirely voluntary. |
