Are there any fees for changing your name?

Answer by  patti (29325)

There is a fee. An attorney can prepare the proper documents, file the request and accompany you to court to petition for the name change. Expect to pay $300 - $600, depending on where you live.

Yes there are fee's. Often there are filing fee's, the fee to request a recent certified copy of your birth certificate and the cost of copies. Most jurisdictions require at least two copies and in some states you must publish the name change in a paper, which will also cost.

Depending on the state where you live you may have to take out an ad in the paper and there is also a fee involved when you file it at the courthouse.
