Oregon Minor Name Change Filing Overview

Who files
a parent, legal guardian, or legal representative files the official minor Petition for Change of Name / Sex for an unemancipated child under 18 in the circuit court of the county where the child lives (ORS 33.410). For a change of sex (or name + sex) you may file in any Oregon circuit court, and the records are confidential. The filing fee is $124 (ORS 21.145); a fee waiver or deferral is available. Oregon sets no fixed age for the child’s own consent — the judge decides on the child’s best interests.
The notice step (no newspaper)
after you file and get a case number, you send written notice to all legal guardians, to the other parent if you are a parent (unless the child has not lived with that parent and that parent does not contribute to the child’s support), or to both parents if you are not a parent (ORS 33.420). Then you complete and file the Declaration of Notice. The petition has a box for notice that cannot be provided. No newspaper publication is required.
The guardian ad litem set and after
the packet includes the official Guardian ad Litem forms byte-faithful, but they are conditional — a typical parent-filed name change does not need one (ORCP 27), and the GAL motion is free. After the judge signs, the court will not send the judgment to Social Security, the DMV, or vital records — you carry certified copies. Update the child’s Social Security record first, then school, medical, and passport records; amend an Oregon birth certificate through the OHA Center for Health Statistics (ORS 432.235). Blank forms are free at courts.oregon.gov.
