After Alaska became a state in 1959, the Alaska Constitution created the Alaska Supreme Court. While its central location is in Anchorage, where it hears arguments monthly, the Alaska Supreme Court also hears arguments in Fairbanks, Juneau, and other locations less regularly.

To get a court order, you'll have to file a petition. Find full instructions on how to change your name in Alaska, as well as the forms you'll need, at the Alaska Court System website. Note that the Alaska name change fee is $200 when filing a petition.

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.

The Alaska Supreme Court is the highest level of state court in Alaska. It hears appeals from lower state courts and also administers the state's judicial system. The Supreme Court includes five justices. The justices, by majority vote, select one of their members to be the chief justice.

Alaska's court system is a "unified, centrally administered, and totally state-funded" system. The Alaska Supreme Court and Alaska Court of Appeals are the state's appellate courts; the superior courts and district courts serve as trial courts. Click a link for information about that court type.
