What steps do you have to take to get your last name legally changed?

One of my girlfriends and her boyfriend don't want to get married, but she wants his last name, what steps does she have to take do that? and how long will it take for her to get her last name changed and how much will she have to pay the court to do it?

What steps do you have to take to get your last name legally changed?
Tell her she's a fool to take his last name if they're not getting married. It is a long process that is a real pain in the butt. I'm married, have my husband's last name, and will be dropping it when the divorce is final.





It will be costly and pointless for her to do something like that for him if they are not legally married.
Reply:This is a relatively minor matter. File for a name change and have it officially changed via court order.

Reply:Unless you put it in your question, we can't tell what country you are in. It is the most frustrating thing Yahoo does. It doesn't matter if you go into domestic Yahoo or one of the International Yahoos - UK, Australia, Canada, India - all of the questions in English go into one big "pot".





In Stanislaus County, California, you call the clerk at the county courthouse. You fill out a form and pay $320. You also take out a Legal Notice in a local newspaper for four weeks. That cost is in addition to the $320. If no one objects, you get your decree.





Every time you apply for a new passport, driver's license, etc. you will need to mail in or show a notarized copy of the decree. If you have to mail one in and don't get it back, chalk up another $25 or so.





The procedure is the same in all counties in California, although the cost may vary. I suspect the procedure is about the same in most states in the USA, although the cost and the length of time may vary.





If you are in the UK, say so and one of the UK people will explain deed polls to you.





The cost will be the same no matter what length your new name is; Stanislaus Jablonski or Joe Fox, it is one price.
Reply:its $500 and its a hell of a long as procedure it will be about like 300 pages and soo many letters and phone calls and yea.


Where does the last name Coughlin come from?

What does it mean? It's not to common

Where does the last name Coughlin come from?
My husband's last name is Coughlin-Ammadon, yes, it's an odd sort of name. The name was originally Scottish, but when the Irish came over to the U.S. and all over Europe because of the potato famine, things were mixed, if you know what I mean. Thus we have the Scots-Irish and Scottish and Irish Americans when the name was transferred over. My husband is Irish.

Surname: Coughlin


This name, with variant spelling Coghlan, Co(u)ghlin and Cohalan, is an Anglicized form of two distinct Gaelic Irish sept names, the first being MacCochlain of County Offaly, and the latter, O Cochlain of County Cork. The Gaelic prefix "mac" indicates "son of" and "O", "male descendant of", plus the personal byname "cochlan" meaning "a short hooded cloak"; hence, "descendant of the cowled or hooded one". The MacCoughlan territory comprised the modern barony of Garry castle, County Offaly, and they had many strongholds in the Banagher - Clonmacnois area. Their chief was known as Chief of Delvin MacCoughlan. Records show that in 1665 two MacCoughlan families possessed over 3,400 acres of land in Co. Offaly. The (O) Coughlans of County Cork belonged to the baronies of Carbery and Ballymore where the name was most numerous at the time of Petty's "census" (1659), as it is to-day. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of MacCoughlain of Co. Offaly, which was dated circa 1150, "The Annals of the Four Masters", during the reign of Dermot Mac Murrough, known as "The King of Ulster", 1134 - 1171. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.


Hope this helps.
Reply:Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Cochl谩in (or 脫 Cochl谩in) 鈥榮on (or descendant) of Cochl谩n鈥? a byname derived from cochal 鈥榗loak鈥? 鈥榟ood鈥? The Mac form is found chiefly in County Offaly; the 脫 form in County Cork. sorry for such great description. but in other words coughlin is and irish word and you could possible be very rich i wouldn't know. just learning about mac Cochl谩in made it intesting to answer this quiestion :)
Reply:Coughlin? like Tom Coughlin? the coach of the New York Giants? are you related? and i have no clue where it comes from. get like ancestry.com it usually has some answers to that. or ask your grandparents(if they are alive)
Reply:deep within the throat, dripping with phlegm.
