Arizona Order Changing Name for an Adult is a court order issued by a judge that allows an adult to legally change their name. This process can be used to change a first, middle, or last name, and can be used to combine or add names, hyphenate names, or restore a former name. There are two types of Arizona Order Changing Name for an Adult: an Order Changing Name for an Adult Without Publication, where the applicant does not need to publicize their name change; and an Order Changing Name for an Adult With Publication, where the applicant must publish their name change in a local newspaper. To qualify for an Order Changing Name for an Adult, the applicant must be an adult, an Arizona resident, and not have any outstanding criminal charges. Additionally, the applicant must provide a valid photo identification and proof of residence.
