Researched filing overview
See page 1 of the actual blank form and review a plain-language outline. The complete documents are delivered after checkout.
VERIFIED COMPLAINT (Form A, CN 10551). The official New Jersey Judiciary complaint that opens an adult name-change case in the Superior Court, Law Division - Civil Part of the county where you live.
Caption and certifications: the county and your contact information, your current legal name and the name you wish to assume, the reason for the change, and the built-in plaintiff certifications — including the criminal-record certification continued on the attachment page.
Filed with the CIS: the court requires a Civil Case Information Statement (CN 10517) alongside this complaint — case type 151 — and it is not inside the Judiciary's packet, so the current official CIS is bundled at the end of your download.
The full packet also includes the Certification of Confidential Information (Form A-1), Order Fixing Date of Hearing (Form B), Final Judgment and Addendum (Forms C and C-1), Proof of Mailing (Form D), and the PublicLegal filing guide with printable checklist.

Complete the petition and related court documents, then file them with the appropriate county 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, county 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. New Jersey abolished the publication requirement in November 2020. The only mailed notice is the Order Fixing Date of Hearing to the Division of Criminal Justice, at least 20 days before the hearing.
$250 — and one fee covers an entire family filing together. After the judgment there are two small state notices: $50 per person to the Department of the Treasury and $2 to the State Registrar of Vital Statistics.
Yes — a Civil Case Information Statement (CN 10517) must be filed with the Verified Complaint, and it is not inside the Judiciary's packet. The current official CIS is bundled at the end of your download.
Usually — a marriage certificate, or a divorce judgment restoring a former name, is enough for Social Security and the MVC; the Judiciary's own packet notes you may not need it for that. A Superior Court complaint is for other changes.
