PETITION FOR CHANGE OF NAME (NHJB-2175-FPe, rev. 03/26/2026). The official New Hampshire Judicial Branch petition that opens an adult name-change case in the Circuit Court, Probate Division, of the county where you live, under RSA 547:3-i.
E-FILING IS THE DEFAULT: e-filing is mandatory for this case type, so these forms are stamped “For e-Filing only.” You file on paper only after the court grants an e-Filing exception (an incarcerated filer is excused automatically).
No publication, fingerprints, or background check: New Hampshire requires none of these. Your confidential date of birth goes on the separate Confidential Information Sheet (NHJB-2878-DFPe). The court issues the Certificate of Change of Name.
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 official fillable forms. Court blanks are free at courts.nh.gov.
