An Alaska Request to Waive Posting in Adult Name Change Case is a legal document that is filed with the court to request that the requirement to post notice of the proposed name change in a local newspaper be waived. This document must be completed and filed with the court prior to a name change hearing in order to be considered. There are two types of Alaska Requests to Waive Posting in Adult Name Change Cases: 1) Waiver of Posting and 2) Waiver of Posting and Publication. The Waiver of Posting requires that the applicant provide at least two affidavits from persons who have known the applicant for at least one year, attesting to the truthfulness of the information provided in the petition for name change. The Waiver of Posting and Publication requires that the applicant provide affidavits from at least two persons who have known the applicant for at least one year, and that a copy of the petition for name change be published in a local newspaper of general circulation in the judicial district at least 15 days prior to the date of the hearing.
