Gather Information
First, we start with a consult to get the information I need to start your case. You’ll go on to do fingerprints and background checks for the FBI and State of Colorado. Once those are in, we file your paperwork with the court. In most cases, there are no hearings, so you never have to set foot in the courthouse.
Judge To Review
The judge will review and approve your petition to change your name and other required paperwork and then will issue an order to be published in the legal classifieds of the newspaper for 3 consecutive days as is required by statute.
Once it’s published, the proof of publication is submitted to the court, and your Order for Name Change is signed, your name will officially be changed.
Certified Order Of Name Change
Finally, I will get your certified orders for changing your name, which you can show to change your name on your driver’s license, social security card, bank accounts, with your employer, and so on. Some schools will even re-issue diplomas in your new legal name.
