Maryland Consents to Change of Name (Consent of Parent) is a document that must be completed and submitted to the court when an individual wishes to legally change their name in the state of Maryland. The document must be signed by a parent (or legal guardian) of the individual who wishes to change their name, and is used to provide consent to the court for the name change. There are two types of Maryland Consent to Change of Name (Consent of Parent) documents: one for minors (under the age of 18) and one for adults. The document must be filled out completely and signed in the presence of a notary public. The completed document must then be submitted to the appropriate court for approval.
