Answers:
You must submit a petition to the court and pay a fee of $65.00 dollars. You would take the petition to the county court in which you live in New York. You will also need to bring a certified birth certificate to submit with your petition. Then a judge must formally approve your name change and will receive a document stating your name change was approved. You will need copies of this to change your birth certificate, SSN, and any people who will be affected by the name change (Utilities, Creditors, etc.). Go to the website below and will assist you in filing the forms, where to file, and also read the Civil Sections to make sure your petition is following the law.
