Researched filing overview
See page 1 of the actual blank form and review a plain-language outline. The complete documents are delivered after checkout.
PETITION FOR CHANGE OF NAME (NHJB-2175-FPe, rev. 03/26/2026). The official New Hampshire Judicial Branch petition a parent or guardian files for a child in the Circuit Court, Probate Division, of the county where the child lives, under RSA 547:3-i.
CONSENT FORM INCLUDED: the non-petitioning parent signs the Consent to Minor Name Change (NHJB-2322-FPe); a child age 14 or older signs its Section 2. If the other parent does not consent, the court directs notice under Probate Rule 173.
E-FILING IS THE DEFAULT: e-filing is mandatory for this case type, so these forms are stamped “For e-Filing only.” You file on paper only after the court grants an e-Filing exception.
The full packet opens with the PublicLegal filing guide whose last page is a printable checklist (before filing / hearing day / after the order), then the official fillable forms. Court blanks are free at courts.nh.gov.

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 consent of the non-petitioning parent is the ordinary path (NHJB-2322-FPe). If that parent does not consent, the court directs notice under Probate Rule 173 (certified mail or sheriff’s service). The statute does not make the other parent’s consent a hard bar; a child age 14 or older signs the consent form’s Section 2.
Yes — the statewide Judicial Branch fillable forms used by the Circuit Court, Probate Division. They are stamped “For e-Filing only” because e-filing is the default; the same forms are filed on paper only after a granted e-Filing exception.
$170 as of 07/2025 (Rule 169(I)(l), includes the $30 e-file surcharge and one Certificate); confirm the current amount with the clerk, as the minor overview was last reissued in 2020. A good-cause fee waiver is available.
No — New Hampshire has no newspaper-publication, fingerprint, or background-check requirement for a minor name change.
