Wisconsin Order for Name Change is a legal process that allows an individual to change their name in the state of Wisconsin. This process is typically used by individuals who wish to change their name for personal or professional reasons. There are two types of Wisconsin Order for Name Change: Adult Name Change and Minor Name Change. To file for an Adult Name Change, the individual must submit a petition to the circuit court in the county in which they reside, along with the applicable filing fee. The individual must provide the court with their full name, the proposed new name, and a reason for the name change. The court will then review the information provided and decide whether to grant the name change. To file for a Minor Name Change, the process is similar but requires the signature of both parents or legal guardians on the petition. The court may also require additional information and documentation to determine whether the name change is in the best interests of the minor. Once the court has approved the name change, it will issue an Order for Name Change, which will be legally binding and must be followed. This Order must then be presented to all relevant government and non-government entities, such as the DMV, Social Security Administration, and financial institutions, in order to update records and documents.
