The three required forms are CIV-694 Petition to Change Child's Name, CIV-695 Parental Consent from Non-Petitioning Parent, and VS-405 Application or Report of Change of Name.

Alaska law requires that name changes are done in Alaska Superior Court. A petition for a name change must be filed with the Court and approved by a Judge. The Alaska Court System provides form packets, with instructions, to petition for a name change.
