Researched filing overview

Idaho Adult Name Change Filing Overview

Who files
an adult 18 or older — or an emancipated minor, which in this chapter means married or on active military duty (§ 7-802(3)) — files the Petition for Name Change (NCA 1-1) in the district court of the county where they reside (§ 7-802(1)). There is no minimum length of residency. The filing fee is currently $166 — confirm the amount with the clerk — and the official FW 1-9/1-10 fee-waiver forms are in this packet if you qualify.
Two petition copies
Idaho’s redaction rules (I.R.C.P. 2.6 / I.R.E.F.S. 15) require a redacted public copy (dates of birth shown as XX/XX/year), while the unredacted copy stays exempt from public disclosure (I.C.A.R. 32). This packet includes both the Unredacted (NCA 1-1) and Redacted (NCA 1-1R) petitions — file both, as the instructions direct.
Publication is required
after filing, the clerk issues a Notice of Hearing (NCA 1-2) under seal, and you publish it once a week for four successive weeks in the court-designated newspaper for your county (§ 7-803(1)) — the Letter Requesting Publication (NC 1-3) is included, and proof of publication must be on file before the court considers the petition. Idaho’s statute has no general safety waiver of publication; if safety is a concern, ask the court about sealing or limiting the record (I.C.A.R. 32) and the Idaho Address Confidentiality Program (§ 19-5701 et seq.).
Eligibility and after
the petition certifies you are not required to register under the sex-offender registration act — Idaho bars a name change that would avoid or relieve registration (§ 7-805). There are no fingerprints and no background check. The judge signs the Judgment of Name Change (NCA 8-1) at the hearing; buy several certified copies, then update records in order — Social Security card (SSA form SS-5, free), Idaho driver license or ID, U.S. passport, then vital records. A marriage or divorce can change a name without this petition.
Verified against Idaho Code §§ 7-801 to 7-805 (legislature.idaho.gov, 2026-08-19) and the official Idaho Court Assistance Office forms (NCA 1-1/1-1R petitions rev. 07/01/2019; downloaded 2026-08-19). Sources: Idaho Court Assistance Office — Name Change forms ; Idaho Code Title 7, Chapter 8
