Orlando Name Change Lawyer

Do you want to change your name? It's not an uncommon process; perhaps you just got married, or you are going through a divorce and would like your original name back. Maybe you just want something new. At Alcalde Legal, we'll file your name change petition for both adults and children.

 

The name change process is relatively straightforward, especially if you work with a lawyer. All documents must be filed correctly, or you are in for a lengthy delay. Let us help you get your name changed legally as quickly and smoothly as possible.

 

If you are not reverting back to your former name, the process is as follows:

• Your fingerprints must be submitted to the clerk of court.

• You must agree to a criminal background check assisted by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. This is to prevent changing your name for false or malicious intentions, such as changing your name to avoid debt, bankruptcy, criminal activity, and so on.

• After filing your documents, you will attend a hearing in front of a judge.

• Finally, you will receive a Final Judgement of Name Change.
