The Idaho Affidavit of Service on Petition for Name Change and Notice of Hearing (Minor) is a legal document used when a minor child's name is being changed in the State of Idaho. It is used to prove that the petition for the name change and the notice of hearing were served to the child's parents or legal guardians. The affidavit must be completed and notarized by the person who served the documents. There are two types of Idaho Affidavit of Service on Petition for Name Change and Notice of Hearing (Minor): personal service and publication service. Personal service requires that the documents be handed to the parent or legal guardian in person, while publication service requires that the documents be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the action is pending.
