Tennessee Petition for Name Change is a legal document that can be used by an individual in the state of Tennessee to legally change their name. The document must be completed and filed with the court in the individual's county of residence. Depending on the reason for the change, the court may require additional documents and procedures to be followed. There are two different types of Tennessee Petition for Name Change: adult name change and minor name change. Adult name changes require the individual to provide proof of their current name, the reason for the name change, and other identifying documents, such as a driver’s license or passport. Minor name changes require the consent of both parents, guardians, or custodians, and the individual must provide proof of their relationship to the minor.
