what do i need for it?

Answer 1

(I'm assuming you live in the US)

Depending on the state you live in, you'll need:

-A completed Change of Name Request

-Current driver's license.

-Certified documentation that shows the change of name (i.e. marriage license, civil union certificate, divorce decree, probate court documents).

I also found this little bit on a website:

"Regardless of your motive... Under Roman law, which in this instance oddly still applies to the United States, people are allowed to change their name whenever they want to… unless it is for a fraudulent purpose. That doesn't stop people from doing it anyway, in which case it is called an "alias."

The process of changing your name does involve a lot of paperwork, but it's nothing you can't handle if you go in prepared. Remember: if thousands of women can do it daily when they tie the knot, so can you."

Hope this helps!
