About this Form:  In most jurisdictions, a Petition for Change of Name of Adult must be filed in the county court in which the Petitioner (i.e. the person seeking to change his or her name) lives.  Any lawful reason that the Petitioner deems a benefit is typically adequate to satisfy most courts.  For example, the Petitioner may prefer a new name due to social or religious reasons.  The Petitioner may not change his or her name for purposes of fraud or if it will violate the rights of others.  Some courts may require the Petitioner to provide a list of the names and addresses of his or her creditors.  The Petitioner should contact the court clerk in the county in which he or she resides to determine the filing fees, docket number, and other local requirements.
