How do I go about getting my name changed?

Name changes, both minor and adult, require the filing of a Petition for Change of Name with the Circuit Court in the county (or Baltimore City) where you reside. The Judiciary provides free, online domestic relations forms, including those required to petition for a change of name of an adult or child. For more information, please contact the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court. For a listing and contact information, see Circuit Court Clerks.
