Legal Name Change

Legal name change is the process of obtaining a legal name change document—typically a court order, marriage license or divorce decree. If you are recently married or divorced, and you have a marriage license or divorce decree, then your legal name change is taken care of, and you can skip to the Marriage Name Change or Divorce Name Change processes. If this is not the case, you are in the right place!

Obtaining a legal name change through court order is a very difficult and time-consuming process. Attorneys often charge thousands in fees for such a procedure. Fortunately, there are reputable services that provide the requisite legal name change documents and filing instructions for a relatively nominal fee—especially considering the excessive fees that attorneys commonly charge.

Another very good and cost-saving option is to consult with a legal expert from the outset without paying exorbitant fees.
