void.false@gmail.com 300 Posted July 12, 2012 Choose your new name carefully. Practice signing with it. Have a few people close to you call you by that name, and see how you like it. You can change your first name, middle name, last name, or all of the above. Just make sure your new name doesn't imply "fraudulent intent" or is not in the public interest by:avoiding bankruptcy by pretending to be someone elseviolating a trademarkusing numbers or symbols (except Roman numerals)using obscene wordsContact the appropriate local government office to determine the rules and paperwork you'll need to change your name officially.Get the forms to fill out, which typically include:a petition (sometimes called a 'deed poll') for change of namean order granting change of namea legal backer forma notice of petition to the publican affidavit of consent (if applicable)an affidavit of service of notification to authorities (only if you're an alien, ex-convict or attorney)Get the forms notarized, or signed by court clerk.[*]Make copies for your own records.[*]Take this with you to the Department of Motor Vehicles, the Social Security Administration, and the Bureau of Records or Vital Statistics in the state you were born so that you can get a new driver's license, social security card, and birth certificate, respectively. You will have to go to the Social Security office before you go to the DMVIf your SSN doesn't match your new name when you apply for a new driver's license, they won't issue it.[*]Submit your paperwork to the appropriate office.[*]Wait for approval. If your name change is not immediately approved, you may need to go to court and defend your reasons.[*]Put an ad in the newspaper announcing your name change. This gives the public a chance to object to your name change if, say, you owe debt under your current name. Some states allow you to simply post in a public place such as a designated bulletin board at the courthouse.[*]Fill out the affidavit and return it to the court clerk.[*]Wait for your Order Granting Change of Name, which will be your new I.D.
