PETITION FOR NAME CHANGE (NCM 1-1, rev. 07/01/2019). The official Idaho Court Assistance Office petition a parent or guardian files for a child under 18 in the district court of the county where the child lives, under Idaho Code §§ 7-801 to 7-805.
CONSENT OR 30-DAY SERVICE: the other parent signs the included Parental Consent (NCM 2-1), or is served at least 30 days before the hearing (§ 7-803(2)-(3)) — the Affidavit of Service (NCM 2-2) proves it.
FILE BOTH COPIES + publish: the Redacted and Unredacted petitions (NCM 1-1R / 1-1) both file, and notice publishes once a week for four successive weeks (§ 7-803(1)); the publication letter (NC 1-3) is included.
The full packet also includes the Civil Cover Sheet, Notice of Hearing (NCM 1-2), proposed Judgment (NCM 8-1), the court’s own instructions, the optional FW 1-9/1-10 fee waiver, and the PublicLegal filing guide with 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 fast path is the other parent’s signed Parental Consent (NCM 2-1). Without it, the other parent (or the grandparents, on a guardian-filed petition) must be served at least 30 days before the hearing (§ 7-803(2)-(3)) — the Affidavit of Service (NCM 2-2) proves it. Any person may object for good reason at the hearing (§ 7-804).
Yes — notice is published once a week for four successive weeks in the court-designated county newspaper (§ 7-803(1)). The statute has no general safety waiver; ask the court about sealing the record (I.C.A.R. 32) if safety is a concern.
Idaho’s redaction rules (I.R.C.P. 2.6) require a redacted public copy (NCM 1-1R) plus the unredacted court copy (NCM 1-1). The child’s full name stays on both — only dates of birth are masked on the public copy.
The court publishes a multiple-minor variant set (NCM 1-4 series) free at the Court Assistance Office — one petition per child, with one consent per child. This packet’s guide explains when to use it.
