Hey! Do any of you guys Know how much it costs to have your name changed, and where exactly do you have to go to get it done?
Thanx..

i think the cheapest way to doit i'm not sure if it's the right way is to take an advert in your local newspaper something like i John Smith wish to be known as whatever your new name is other than that i would suggest you ask your local Citizens Advice office i've know idea how much it costs i'm sure if i'm wrong someone may have some better advice BTW i new a guy who changed his name to Eddie Maiden he was a huge Iron Maiden fan named himself after their mascot Eddie The Ed

No. But I do remember a few years back when I went psycho I wanted to change my name to Arienette Omega or something, I thought that by having an A O name like Alpha Omega it'd bring you closer to God. Yea. :headscrat

You have to do it through the court system. it isn't a matter of cost (unless you bribe), they will only grant a change if there is a real need.

well, yea, and then the whole bs you have to go through changing your scoial, liscence or id, credit cards, work stuff etc. have fun, if you feel its worth it then it is.

Well, really I don't have a reason...just wanna change it. There's alot of bad blood between my Father and myself. But I'm not gonna hit you guys w/ the graphic details. :cry:
I don't wanna wait till I get married.

Generally, but not in places like Los Angeles, where it's relatively easier to change your name.

Even if you change your name, you have to make a public announcement of it in your local paper (The city you live in and surrounding areas. You might think "Big deal" but it is a big deal, because there are people who make a living out of reading this announcements and will keep tabs on you and place you in a databank of other people who change their names.. Why do you want to change your name anyways?

I had my name (full name) changed a few years ago and it costed me around $300 because I had to run it in the newspaper.

I would never change my last name because I would feel like I was living a lie. Just because you have a piece of paper that says now you are so and so, doesn't make it any different IMO. Plus when ever someone would say for instance "hey chris!" and i changed my name to tim or something i would look and have to say my name is tim now sry. just my thoughts though.

It's quite easy to change your name in the Uk... My husband will do it soon or later and with that my name will change again
