Important Notes:
- Our forms services are ONLY designed to cover simple, uncontested
name changes. Our services should not be used if the applicant or
minor has been convicted of a crime, has claimed bankruptcy, has
judgments or liens against them, is not a U.S. citizen, or is a
registered sex offender. Instead, you should consider contacting an
attorney in your area. These circumstances could cause complications,
which may result in the action being denied and/or contested.
Requirements to File for a Change of Name for an Adult in Georgia
Georgia law requires certain things before you can file for a name change
and/or during the name change process in Georgia. These requirements
include:
- You (the Petitioner) must be an adult.
- The only way someone can obtain a name change in the State of
Georgia is if the change of name is being requested by someone who has
been a resident of the State of Georgia for a minimum of six (6)
months. You must be a resident of Georgia in order for a Georgia Court
to have jurisdiction to hear your case. You will file this action in
the County where you reside. If you are a resident of a military base
in the State of Georgia, then you must be a resident of the State of
Georgia for a minimum of one (1) year.
- You must have proper and reasonable cause for the requested change
of name.
- You are not changing your name to avoid debts, to defraud
creditors or to infringe upon the rights of others.
- Again, please remember, our form services are ONLY designed to
cover simple, uncontested name change actions. Our forms services
should not be used if you have been convicted of a crime, have claimed
bankruptcy, have judgments or liens against you, are not a U.S.
citizen, or you are a registered sex offender. Instead, you should
consider contacting an attorney in your area. These circumstances
could cause complications, which may result in your action being
denied and/or contested.
