Arizona Name Change Instructions and Forms Package for an Adult

Note: This summary is not intended to be an all inclusive discussion of the law applicable to an action for change of name in Arizona, but does include basic and other provisions.

Name Change Action Allowed: In Arizona, an adult may change their name by filing an Application in the Superior Court in the county of their residence.

Who is an adult? A person who has attained the age of 18 years is considered an adult in the State of Arizona.

Who is a minor? A person who has not attained the age of 18 years is considered a minor in the State of Arizona.

Is there any reason why a person might not be allowed to change his or her name? Yes. The court must find that the requested name change is based on reasonable grounds. Reasonable grounds for a name change are generally those that are consistent with the public interest. A person is not allowed to change their name in order to avoid judgments or legal actions against him or her, or to avoid debts and obligations. A person can not change their name to defraud any person.

Requirements for Name Change Order: For an order of name change to be granted, the court must find that there are reasonable grounds for the change and also that it is consistent with the public interest. A change of name upon marriage, dissolution, or divorce meets these requirements.

Is Publication of a Notice Required? It is not "required" by statute. The court, if it deems it proper that notice be given, may order that notice of the Application be given by publication of the notice in a local newspaper or by service upon any interested party.

Who must be provided notice of the Application? The court has the discretion to order notice by publication which would serve notice on the general population or notice by service of summons and a copy of the Application upon any "interested" party.

Can individuals "object" to the Application for Name Change? Yes. Any reasonable objections made to the court may influence the court's findings as to whether the change of name is based on good reasons and consistent with the public interest.

After the court grants the Application for Change of Name, may the Applicant obtain a new birth certificate? A name change in Arizona acts to "substitute" the new name for the old. Arizona statutes do not provide for the issuance of a new certificate of birth or the amendment of the original certificate of birth following a court ordered name change based solely on the Name Change statute.
