Some Common Questions About Name Change
Deciding whether or not you need a name change or, if you do, which kind do you need, is the first step. Do some research and maybe get some consultation with experts
If you need a court order, that process starts by preparing and filing a Petition for Name Change in the proper Superior Court, arranging required notices and following the court process all the way through.
The court process ends when a judge reviews you and your Petition. Upon approval, a Decree Changing Name can be signed by the judge making your name change official. A Certified Copy of that court order is what agencies, schools, financial institutions, and other organizations may require before they’ll update your ID, records, or official documents. Learn More.
We help you through the entire legal name change process—accurately preparing your court forms, filing them with the correct court, arranging the required newspaper publication, keeping you posted as we go, and supporting you all the way to your hearing and beyond. If a hearing is required, we’ll help you get prepared so you can walk in with confidence. Upon approval by your judge, you’ll receive a Decree Changing Name. This certified Decree is the official document recognized nationwide and often internationally. Our personalized support team is available to you throughout the process—even after your court case is finished. Learn More
If you handle the process entirely on your own, the typical cost is about $525-585. When you choose to have EZ Name Change assist you, the average total cost is usually around $715-775.

It only takes about 5–10 minutes to get started using our online questionnaire, or you can give us a call. If you’re doing everything yourself, expect to spend 4-18 or more hours figuring it all out. From start to finish, it usually takes about 2 to 3 months to receive your Decree Changing Name, upon approval. Updating your records afterward can take a few days to several weeks, depending on your situation and the organizations involved.

In a world where good service seems to have disappeared, EZ Name Change is a breath of fresh air. This company has their business down pat. Super on top of EVERYTHING and like clockwork. It couldn't have gone better. Thanks!
EZ Name change has made the whole process so incredibly simple. I had to fill out a preliminary questionnaire and sign my names on the forms that they sent via mail. Then I went to the court hearing and that was pretty much it! 10/10!
I worked with both Maria and Eric from EZ Name Change. They were very professional and great to work with. I called them a few times for some questions that I had and they always ...
