The Pennsylvania Notice of Intention to Resume Prior Surname is a document filed with the County Court of Common Pleas in order to legally change one’s surname back to a prior name. It is commonly used when an individual has been married, divorced, or legally changed their name and wishes to resume a surname they held prior to the change. Types of Pennsylvania Notice of Intention to Resume Prior Surname forms include those for married couples, single individuals, and divorced individuals. The document must be filled out completely and accurately, and must include the current name and the name to which one wishes to resume. The form must also include a statement of intention and any other necessary documents. Once the form is filed, it will be reviewed by a county court judge, who will decide if the name change is proper.
