Please ensure you meet your state's residency requirements prior to purchasing any of our products or services. Information on residency requirements may be found on the state pages of our Name Change web site.

Using state laws and other resources, this state-specific product has been designed to provide the necessary forms and filing instructions to conduct a legal name change for an adult. PLEASE NOTE: The Allegheny County courts recommend a specific paper-format of Pennsylvania name change documents, which are offered locally. Our products, though designed to meet state legal requirements, are sometimes denied by the clerks solely because Petitioners are not filing these "recommended forms". Other customers of ours have prepared their documents using our products, submitted them to the Allegheny Court clerk, and have never received a complaint or issue from the court. As such, while our staff has not located any significant differences in content or language, our product has been randomly denied. We have not been able to successfully remedy this issue and therefore want to alert our visitors and customers to the potential problem. You may wish to contact your local court clerk or Prothonotary's office to learn more about the local forms and filing procedures for Allegheny County.

This product is intended for use in simple, uncontested actions only. Our products do not address the following situations: Persons seeking a name change due to marriage. Persons seeking a name change while divorcing or divorced (see below for further information). Typically simplified procedures are available. Similarly, if you are only correcting a first or middle name, you MAY not need to go through the court-ordered process. Contact the Office of Vital Records in the state where you were born, for information about name changes that can be obtained without going to court. Additionally, persons who have been convicted of a felony, have claimed bankruptcy, or have a lien or financial judgment filed against them should not use this product. In such cases, a licensed attorney should be contacted.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are a divorced person or a party in a divorce action seeking to resume a prior surname, a separate simpler procedure applies. Typically, one can change their name as a result of the divorce if they included this request in their pleading. If one does not include such request in their divorce pleading then they would have to go through a separate procedure. Nonetheless, our product should not be used by individuals seeking to resume a prior surname prior to or subsequent to the entry of the divorce decree. The Prothonotary's Office or the clerk of the court in your county should have information relating to this particular procedure.
