A motion to change venue is a way to ask the court to move your case from the county your case is in now to a different county within Minnesota. NOTE: If you are not sure if these forms should be used in your situation, you should get legal advice. The top part of the form helps identify the case.
The requirements for applying for a legal name change in Minnesota are easily met by most people: you must have lived in Minnesota for at least six months, and be a resident of the county in which you apply. You must have two adult witnesses at your name change hearing, and they can be relatives.
