You should be able to complete your name change within 2 weeks to 3 months. The timeline will depend on how many documents and accounts you need to update with your new name and the steps you take. Everyone's situation is different.
How long will the entire application for change of name take? Name change actions can take anywhere from a day to six (6) months (sometimes even longer). The time it takes for such action to be ordered/decreed varies not only from county to county, but sometimes from courthouse to courthouse as well.
For adult name changes and uncontested child name changes in Bexar county, your name change attorney can normally obtain a court order within two to three weeks of your initial appointment. Meanwhile, adult and uncontested cases in Comal, Guadalupe, or other counties normally take 4-6 weeks.
