This order is available to children under 18 years of age who reside in the state of Illinois. There are two different types of Illinois Order for Name Change (Minor Children): Consent Order and Court Order. A Consent Order is an agreement between a parent or guardian and a minor child to change the minor's name. This agreement must be approved by a judge in order to become legally binding. A Court Order is an order granted by a judge that requires a minor child's name to be changed. This type of Order is only granted in certain circumstances, such as when a name change is in the minor's best interest. In order to obtain an Illinois Order for Name Change (Minor Children), the petitioner must file a petition with the court that explains the reasons for the name change. The petition must be signed by the petitioner and the minor's parent or guardian and must also include supporting documents such as a birth certificate or legal documents. After the petition is filed, the court will review the petition and determine whether to grant the name change.
