PETITION FOR CHANGE OF NAME (CIV-700, rev. 7/25). The official Alaska Court System petition that opens a name-change case in the Superior Court location nearest where you live — Alaska has no counties (AS 09.55.010, Civil Rule 84).
Caption: "In the Superior Court for the State of Alaska at ___" — the city where you file — with the case number the clerk assigns.
What it asks: your current legal name exactly as on your birth certificate or most recent legal document, the new name you want with your reasons, and whether you want the birth certificate amended.
Eligibility disclosures: checkboxes for a guardian/conservator, being charged with a crime, incarceration, supervised felony probation or parole, and the sex-offender and child-kidnapper registry (AS 12.63.010) — these can require extra notice but do not automatically bar the change.
The kit also includes the VS-405 vital-records application, the optional CIV-708 posting waiver, the CIV-702 additional-service affidavit, the court's own CIV-699 instructions, and a PublicLegal filing guide ending in a printable checklist.

Complete the petition and related court documents, then file them with the appropriate court. Court filing fees and local procedures vary by county.
These forms are designed for self-help use, but ILRG does not provide legal advice. Consult a licensed attorney if your situation involves unusual facts, contested issues, or questions about local procedure.
Timing depends on the court, local scheduling, notice requirements, and whether anyone objects. Many name change matters take several weeks, but local timing can vary.
Possibly. Some states impose additional notice, waiting period, or disclosure requirements for certain convictions. Review local rules or consult an attorney if this applies to you.
No. ILRG provides self-help legal forms and information, not legal advice. You are responsible for reviewing local court requirements before filing.
No — the court automatically posts notice on its legal-notice website for four consecutive weeks (Civil Rule 84(b)). Newspaper publication is ordered only in some cases, and a filer with a safety concern can ask to waive posting with form CIV-708.
$200 (Administrative Rule 9(b)). A fee waiver (form TF-920) is available, and many locations require e-filing through TrueFiling unless the filer is exempt.
A divorce, annulment, or dissolution can restore a former name without a separate petition. Taking a spouse’s surname after marriage is handled with Social Security and the DMV — an Alaska marriage certificate does not print a new name.
No fingerprinting. The petition asks you to disclose certain criminal, incarceration, probation/parole, or sex-offender-registry status (AS 12.63.010), which can require extra notice to an officer or the Department of Public Safety.
