PETITION OF ADULT TO CHANGE NAME (700-00122, rev. 06/2026). The official Vermont Judiciary petition that opens a name-change case in the probate division of the Superior Court for the county where you live.
Caption: the State of Vermont, the Superior Court unit, the Probate Division, and the case number the clerk assigns.
Petitioner facts: your current legal name, birthplace and date of birth, the new name you are asking for, your town of legal residence, and whether you want your birth certificate changed.
Registry screen: the form itself gives notice that the Probate Court checks the Sex Offender Registry (13 V.S.A. § 5402).
Sign before the judge: the last block is a Probate Judge's acknowledgment — in person or by virtual video — not a notary. The packet's PublicLegal guide walks the sequence and ends in a printable checklist.

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No. Vermont repealed its newspaper-publication requirement; the court mails the hearing notice and no newspaper step exists.
No. The petition is acknowledged before the Probate Judge, in person or by virtual video — read it, then follow the court’s scheduling instructions.
The court checks the Sex Offender Registry (13 V.S.A. § 5402). There is no fingerprint or general background check.
Usually yes — a marriage certificate or a divorce decree restoring a former name is accepted by most agencies without a separate petition. Use this packet when the name you want is not on either document.
