PETITION TO CHANGE CHILD'S NAME (CIV-694, rev. 7/25). The official Alaska Court System petition a parent or guardian files on a child's behalf in the Superior Court location nearest where the child lives (AS 09.55.010, Civil Rule 84(e)).
The other parent: a consenting non-petitioning parent signs the Parental Consent (CIV-695); a non-consenting parent is served with the clerk-issued Summons (CIV-697) and a copy of the petition at least 30 days before the hearing.
No fixed consent age: the judge considers the wishes of a child old enough to express an opinion, and must find the change is in the child's best interests if a parent objects (CIV-696).
The kit also includes the CIV-695 consent, CIV-696 objection, VS-405 vital-records application, the optional CIV-709 posting waiver, the CIV-702 affidavit, the court's own CIV-693 instructions, and a PublicLegal filing guide ending 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.
A parent or guardian can usually file a minor name change petition, but notice to or consent from the other parent may be required. Requirements vary by state and county.
No. ILRG provides self-help legal forms and information, not legal advice. You are responsible for reviewing local court requirements before filing.
The judge expects both parents to consent. A consenting parent signs form CIV-695; otherwise the other parent is served with a summons and the petition at least 30 days before the hearing. The judge can waive consent for good cause, such as a parent who is deceased, has had rights terminated, or cannot be located.
There is no fixed age. The judge considers the wishes of a child old enough to express an opinion, so bring the child to the hearing. If a parent objects, the judge must find the change is in the child’s best interests.
No — the court automatically posts notice on its website for four weeks unless the judge waives it for safety (form CIV-709). Newspaper publication is ordered only in some cases.
Yes — for a misspelling or to add a missing first name on an Alaska birth certificate, file an Affidavit for Correction of a Record (form VS-608) with Alaska Vital Records instead. That route cannot change a last name or make a discretionary first- or middle-name change.
