This form is for use after you have changed your name through a legal process. It is used to notify companies, organizations, government agencies and others of the name change.
To change the name of a minor in Oregon, you need to go through a legal process known as a name change petition.
Any parent or legal guardian of the minor can request a name change in Oregon.
Since the minor cannot request the name change by themselves, there is no specific age requirement. The parent or legal guardian must initiate the process.
You need to file a name change petition in court. Along with the petition, you will need to provide a certified copy of the minor's birth certificate, proof of your identity as the parent or legal guardian, and any supporting documents that explain the reason for the name change.
The time to complete the name change process varies, but it usually takes a few months. It depends on factors such as the court's schedule and whether anyone objects to the name change.
Yes, there is a filing fee for the name change petition. The exact fee amount can be obtained from the court where you file the petition.
Yes, the other parent can object to the name change. If they do, the court will consider their objections and make a decision based on the best interests of the child.
Once the court approves the name change, you will receive a court order. This court order can be used to update the minor's identification documents, such as birth certificate, Social Security card, and driver's license.
While it is not required, seeking legal advice from an attorney experienced in name change cases can be beneficial. They can guide you through the process and ensure all necessary steps are taken.
Yes, you can change both the first and last name of the minor simultaneously by including the desired changes in the name change petition.
