The Arizona name change for an adult as descibed in the State Code 12.601 is done by filing a petition to the county's civil court where you are a resident. It is easier, if you were just married, to have your certified marriage license with the raised seal or if you were recently divorced to have your divorce decree. Typically, you will not have a court hearing in Arizona but it depends on the circumstances of the name change.
REQUIREMENTS
Must be a resident for at least 6 months
If just married, must have your original marriage certificate.
If just divorced, must have your divorce decree.
Step 1 - Fill-Out the Original Name Change Petition For an Adult. The Petition must be notarized. Also, you will need to go to the Texas Department of Public Safety Location in order to get your fingerprints scanned and onto a card. You will attach this card to your name change petition.
Step 2 - Make 2 copies of each.
Step 3 - File the Petition to the County Court Clerk's office in the County where your live (See County List Below). Pay the filing fee and you will be given a case number.
Step 4 - Upon showing up to your hearing you will have to have your order for changing name. This is the official form that the Judge will be authorizing that completes the name change process.
Step 5 - It is also under Arizona law that after your name change has been completed that you show your order for changing name to all the necessary public and private institutions that you have interest.
