A legal Name Change, or social security Name Change is a two step process. Your name is your legal identity. In the court's eyes, changing your name is really changing your legal identity.
If you want to change your name outside of marriage or adoption, you must petition the court. The court's role is to make sure you are changing your name for a valid reason.
The Legalzoom Name Change process is quick and easy. You fill out a simple questionnaire, and Legalzoom ensures that all questions will be answered to the court's satisfaction.
