The Pennsylvania Adult Adopted Name Change Application is a legal document that allows adult adopters to change their name in the state of Pennsylvania. This document must be filled out, signed, and submitted to the court in the county where the adopted resides. The application includes the adopted's name, their birthdate, the name they are seeking to change to, and the reason for the name change. The court may also require additional documentation such as a birth certificate or adoption orders. There are two types of Pennsylvania Adult Adopted Name Change Applications: an Uncontested Name Change Application, and a Contested Name Change Application. The Uncontested Name Change Application is for adult adopters who do not have any objections to the name change and who have all the required documentation. The Contested Name Change Application is for adult adopters who do not have all the required documents or who have an objection to the name change.
