Researched filing overview

Utah Adult Name Change Filing Overview

Who files
an adult 18 or older files the Petition for Name or Sex Change (1730FA) in the district court of the county where they have lived for at least one year (§ 42-1-1). Utah uses one combined “name or sex change” petition — for a name change you complete only the name-change paragraphs and leave the sex-designation items blank. The filing fee is $375 (§ 78A-2-301(1)(a)); a fee waiver is available, and the court’s MyPaperwork/OCAP e-file interview adds a separate $60 OCAP fee (§ 78A-2-501).
Publication and bars
Utah has no routine newspaper-publication step — the judge may order notice only in unusual cases (§ 42-1-2). You cannot petition to avoid creditors or commit fraud, and a person in Utah Department of Corrections custody or on AP&P probation/parole is barred (§ 64-13-1). Only a petitioner on the Sex and Kidnap Offender Registry must send the registry Notice of Hearing (1703FA) to BCI 30 days before the hearing.
Hearing and after
the court sets a hearing (often remote) where you testify; if granted, the judge signs the Order on Petition (1731FA). Buy certified copies, then amend a Utah birth certificate with Vital Records Form 902, and update Social Security, your Utah driver license, passport, and records. A marriage certificate or a divorce decree that restores a former name is accepted without this petition — a Utah decree restores a former name only if it was requested in the decree.

PETITION FOR NAME OR SEX CHANGE (1730FA). The official Utah Courts petition that opens a name-change case in the district court of the county where you have lived at least one year (Utah Code § 42-1-1).

One combined form: Utah has no name-only petition — for a name change you complete only the name-change paragraphs (¶11–12) and leave the sex-designation items blank.

Eligibility declarations: the petition asks about creditor-avoidance, fraud, felony history, and whether you are in Utah Department of Corrections custody or on AP&P probation/parole (§ 64-13-1), plus a Sex and Kidnap Offender Registry declaration.

The kit also includes the proposed Order (1731FA), the District Court Cover Sheet (1158XX), the offender-registry Notice of Hearing (1703FA — registry cases only), and a PublicLegal filing guide ending in a printable checklist.

This outline is not the form itself. Your download includes the complete PDF packet.

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 — the judge may order notice only in unusual cases (§ 42-1-2). The exception is a petitioner on the Sex and Kidnap Offender Registry, who sends a registry notice before the hearing.

$375 (§ 78A-2-301(1)(a)); the MyPaperwork/OCAP e-file interview adds a $60 OCAP fee (§ 78A-2-501). A fee waiver is available.

Not by statute — the petition collects felony, probation/parole, and registry disclosures, and a judge may ask for a BCI criminal-history record at the hearing.

Yes when the name you want is on the marriage certificate, or when a divorce decree restores a former name — a Utah decree restores a former name only if the request was written into the decree. Use this petition for any other name.
