I would like to know the proceedure, as well as fees and such.

You can get everything you need to legally change your name, on your own, without an attorney at - http://www.legalformsbank.biz/namechange... - and you can learn more about the procedure there.
Reply:You have to petition your local circuit court ( in some states the courts have different names) for a change of name.


You can get the forms from the court clerk.


The fee will vary from court to court so you'd have to tell us where you want to do this.


You will have to present proof of your birth name and swear that you are not changing your name to escape legal obligations or to escape the law. It's really quite simple and not costly.
Reply:Very state specific.
