There are a few ways to legally change your name. The most common way is to go through the court system. You will need to file a petition with the court and provide evidence of your name change, such as your birth certificate or driver’s license. There is usually a fee associated with this process. If you have been married, divorced, or had your name changed by deed poll, you may be able to use those documents instead of providing evidence of your name change.
Another way to change your name is by using the Social Security Administration (SSA). To do this, you will need to complete an application and provide proof of your identity and citizenship status. There is no fee for this service.
The third way to change your name is by filing a declaration of assumed name with the state in which you reside. This option is available to anyone who wants to use a different name than their legal name without going through the court system or SSA. There may be a small fee associated with this process.
Changing your name can be a hassle, but it’s worth it if it makes you happier and more comfortable in life.
