Once you have received your signed order, you will need to contact any agency and office where you wish to change the child`s name so that they can update the child`s information. You will usually need a certified copy of the name change order, which you can obtain for a small fee from the clerk`s court records department. In Iowa, there are procedures for legally changing a name for an adult or for a child. The forms are available free of charge on this website. Going back to your maiden name during a divorce, all you have to do is apply for the name change in your divorce lawsuit (or the response to a complaint), and the change will be incorporated into your divorce decree. Once your divorce is final, you can obtain certified copies of your divorce decree from your district court office to obtain your ID card, registrations, passport, etc. (if you live in the Eastern District of North Carolina, click here for a list of clerk`s offices). Even in the event that you have not included a name change in your divorce decree, you can resume the use of a previous surname without further legal proceedings. To continue using a previous surname, contact your local office with a copy of your divorce decree and request that your maiden name or previously married name be reinstated. You will be charged for this service. With a copy of your divorce decree and the document that the clerk gives you, you can retrieve your maiden name.
Before submitting your child`s name change application, you must post a notice of your intention to change the minor`s name in your district courthouse. Fill out the minor`s name change notice and give it to your local courthouse office so they can stamp a timestamp and post it on their bulletin board. Once the notice has been posted for ten (10) consecutive business days, you may submit your petition to change your child`s name to the Clerk`s office. Many adults want their name changed to facilitate a fresh start in life. For a newly divorced adult, the procedure is very simple. Forms are available at the prothonotar office in each county to change a married surname to a previous surname. If the divorce was filed in another county or state, the person requesting the name change can file the executive order and name change form with the prothonotary`s office. A small fee will be charged for forms and submission.
Fees range from $5.00 to $8.00. To schedule a hearing, fill out an undisputed hiring slip and bring it to the courthouse. A clerk will set a hearing date for you when you submit the form. The judge may not grant the change of name until 10 days after the last date of publication of the notice. Make sure your hearing date is scheduled for at least 10 days after the final publication date. Your federal criminal record check can be done online or by mail.

Once you have completed it, you must file it with your district court so that it can be published in a bulletin for ten (10) consecutive business days. If you have a legitimate interest in your security in connection with the publication of your name change, you may be exempted from this requirement. If you have received documents indicating that the other parent wants to change a child`s name and you disagree, you can file an “appeal” against the proposed name change. It must be submitted within 10 working days of receipt of the documents. The instructions and forms required for this purpose can be found in the opposition file. However, if the court considers that the publication of the notice would jeopardize the safety of the person requesting the change of name or of his or her child or children, it may make an order waiving the publication of the notice. After submitting your application, as long as there are no objections to your name change, the court clerk will approve your application and send you a court order and a certificate of name change.
