Caption: the State of Minnesota, your county and judicial district, and the court file number the administrator assigns.
Applicant facts: your current legal name, address, date and place of birth, the new name you are asking for, and checkboxes covering a spouse or minor children included in the same application.
The full packet opens with the PublicLegal filing guide whose last page is a printable checklist (before filing / hearing day / after the order), then the court's NAM101 instructions, the NAM103 criminal-history release, the proposed order NAM107, and the conditional felony-notice appendix.

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 routine publication for adults. Minnesota uses a hearing with two witnesses instead; publication exists only as a fallback for notifying a person who cannot be found.
Yes in substance — every covered person age 10 or older signs the included NAM103 Criminal History Check Release and the court checks Minnesota and national records. There is no fingerprinting.
The statewide base fee is $310 plus any county law-library fee — for example, $322 total in Hennepin County. An in forma pauperis fee waiver is available if you cannot afford it.
Usually — a last-name change through a marriage license or a name restored in a divorce decree needs no application. But a person with a felony conviction cannot use the marriage-license path and must file this application instead (§ 259.13).
