Arizona Minor Name Change Filing Overview

Who files
a parent, guardian ad litem, or next friend files the Application for Change of Name for a Minor Child (CVNCM11F) in the Superior Court of the county where the child lives (A.R.S. § 12-601(B)). The judge decides on the child’s best interests and must weigh the same § 12-601(C) statements — felony history, pending identity-related charges, no improper purpose.
The other parent
when the other parent agrees, they sign one form — the Optional Consent of Parent to Name Change of a Minor Child and Waiver of Notice (CVNC17F), consent and waiver together. Otherwise, serve the Notice of Hearing (CVNC18F) and file proof with the Affidavit of Service by Certified Mail (CVNC24F). Arizona courts require other-parent notice in practice even though the statute does not spell it out, and neither consent nor waiver binds the judge.
The child’s own consent
a child 14 or older signs the Consent of Minor to Name Change (CVNC13F) — the court’s own form list describes it for minors 14 or older; the statute sets no age, so for a younger child include it if the judge expects it.
No automatic publication and no fingerprints
the court may order notice by publication or by service only if it deems it proper (§ 12-602(A)), and Arizona requires no fingerprint or background-check filing for a minor name change.
Filing fee
$252 statewide base (AO 2024-210 schedule) plus any county add-on — Maricopa totals about $367; confirm with the clerk. A § 12-302 fee deferral or waiver (form AOCDFGF1F) is available.
Safety and after the order
the court may seal the case only for the § 12-601(F) protected class (order of protection, injunction against harassment, or stalking victims) and always in its discretion. After the judge signs the Order Changing Name of Minor (CVNCM81F), buy certified copies, update the child’s Social Security record first (SSA form SS-5, free), then school, medical, and passport records; for a child born in Arizona, the ADHS Office of Vital Records amends the birth record on a certified copy (§ 36-337(A)(4)).
Verified against the statewide Arizona Judicial Branch self-service forms (fetched 2026-08-19: CVNCM11F rev. 01/01/2023, CVNCM81F rev. 04/23/2013) and A.R.S. §§ 12-601 and 12-602. Sources: Arizona Judicial Branch — Name Change Forms ; A.R.S. § 12-601 — Application; venue; judgment; sealing

APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF NAME FOR A MINOR CHILD (CVNCM11F, rev. 01/01/2023) — official Arizona Judicial Branch statewide form under A.R.S. § 12-601(B). Filed by a parent, guardian ad litem, or next friend in the Superior Court of the county where the child lives.

Caption: Superior Court of Arizona in the child's county — with the case number the clerk assigns.

What it asks: the child's birth-record and current names, the requested new name and reasons, and the § 12-601(C) statements — signed before a notary under penalty of perjury; the judge decides the child's best interests.

The full packet also includes the child's own Consent of Minor to Name Change (CVNC13F, for minors 14 or older), the other parent's Consent and Waiver of Notice (CVNC17F), the Notice of Hearing (CVNC18F), the Affidavit of Service by Certified Mail (CVNC24F), and the Order Changing Name of Minor (CVNCM81F) — behind a PublicLegal filing guide and printable checklist.

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