PETITION AND AFFIDAVIT FOR CHANGE OF NAME OF A MINOR (NCM Form 08). The official Wyoming Judicial Branch petition an adult "next friend" — usually a parent or guardian — files to change a child's name in the district court of the county where the child lives.
Who files: the next friend states their relationship to the child (natural parent, adoptive parent, or legal guardian) and signs for the child.
Child and request: the child's current legal name, birthplace, the proposed new name, and the reasons for the change.
The other parent: the packet carries the full notice toolkit — Consent (NCM 10), service and publication tracks (NCM 09, 14, 17–25) — plus confidentiality and waiver forms when they apply.
The full packet also includes the court's own NCM 01–07 instructions, hearing forms (NCM 26/27), the Order on Name Change (NCM 28), and the vital-records application (NCM 30) — behind a PublicLegal filing guide and printable checklist.

This packet currently includes print-ready PDF format. The document list above reflects the packet contents for this state without exposing internal fulfillment filenames.
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.
Yes — a parent or guardian files as next friend. The other parent must still be given notice: a signed consent is the easy path, and the packet includes the summons and service-by-publication forms for a parent who will not sign or cannot be found.
No. Publication of the petition notice (NCM 14) is excused when every parent and legal guardian signs the petition, and the court can waive it for good cause or grant confidentiality (NCM 15/16). Serving a non-signing parent is a separate track with its own forms (NCM 09, 17–25).
The child must have lived in Wyoming for the six months immediately before filing, so a baby under six months old must wait. Name changes inside an adoption or paternity case use that case instead of this packet.
Wyoming has no fixed age at which the child’s written consent is required; the judge decides on the child’s best interests and may consider the child’s age and wishes.
