PETITION TO CHANGE NAME OF MINOR (700-00123, rev. 05/2025). The official Vermont Judiciary petition a parent or guardian files to change a child's name in the probate division of the Superior Court for the county where the child lives.
Part I — the request: the child's current legal name, birth facts, the proposed new name, the town of legal residence, and whether the birth certificate should change.
Parents and guardians: both parents' details, plus a guardianship section when a guardian files with a court appointment order.
Consents are built in: the non-petitioning parent's consent and the minor's consent (required at 14 or older, 15 V.S.A. § 812) are sections inside the petition itself.
The full packet also includes the court's 700-00123A information sheet, the service and alternative-service forms (600-00264, 700-00300, 700-00305) for a non-consenting parent, 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 easy path is the consent section inside the petition. Without it, that parent must be served (V.R.P.P. 4(d)) and the certificate of service filed; the packet includes the motion and affidavit for alternative service if they cannot be found.
Yes. The minor signs the consent section inside the petition (15 V.S.A. § 812) and should be prepared to confirm the consent at the hearing.
Not by default. Publication comes up only as court-ordered alternative service on a parent who cannot be located.
Yes — a guardian files with the court appointment order; the petition has a guardianship section.
