In Australia, does it cost to change your last name to your mum's name?

Question

I know it costs to change it to something random, and when you get married...

and i know it costs $100 each letter of your first name... but if its your mums name does that count?

Answer 1

$100 per letter sounds more like the fees for an emroidery company.

But seriously - look up the government department for your state that handles this.

For example here is the WA site.
