Allegheny County Name Change In some cases, all you have to do is submit the correct forms to the Department of Vital Statistics. If you want to change your name after a divorce, you need to file a written request to the Prothonotary at the Court of Common Pleas in your county.
A notice to resume prior surname can be completed at the Prothonotary's Office after a divorce complaint is entered in our office. This must be completed in the county where the divorce action is filed. An official name change must follow the Pennsylvania rules of civil procedure.
If you divorce or dissolve a civil partnership you can simply go back to using your previous surname without having to officially record the change. If you were married you can simply let everyone know you are reverting to your previous name (such as a Birth name or maiden name).
