Ohio law permits an adult to apply to the Probate Court for a name change. The filing must be made in person. After the filing of the paperwork the Court will set a hearing date, generally 60 days after the filing.
You must bring an ORIGINAL or CERTIFIED copy of the following name change documents to make that connection: Original or Certified Copy of a Marriage Certificate or Marriage License. Certified Copy of a Decree of Divorce, Dissolution, or Annulment of Marriage. Certified Copy of a Court Ordered Name Change.
Application must include a statement of the guardian's willingness to perform as guardian, a bond as required by law, and, in the case of a prospective incompetent ward, a statement of the ward's mental and physical condition from a treating physician, psychiatrist, or licensed psychologist.
Gather your identification and supporting documents. The court will also ask for any available proof of your reason for the name change. Proof of your reason could include documents like a marriage certificate, divorce decree or signed statement from your gender-specialist doctor.
