Key Name Change Laws Impacting Adults in Idaho
In Idaho, a legal adult who has good cause to change their name may do so. However, they must file a petition for name change in Idaho with the court whose jurisdiction they reside.
Essential Components of a Name Change Petition in Idaho
- current name
- residence
- place of birth
- proposed new name
- reasoning behind changing the current name
After filing the petition and the fee for a name change in Idaho, the court will set up a hearing at least 6 weeks after the date of filing. Additionally, the court will issue a notice of the hearing that the petitioner must publish in local publications at least once a week for 4 weeks.
If there are no objections filed concerning the name change, the court will proceed with the hearing. This is usually an informal process where a judge will hear any objections and determine whether to grant the name change or not.
If the court agrees to legally change the petitioner’s name, the judge will sign the order and the name is changed.

"Katelynn was amazing from the start!"
Katelynn was amazing from the start! She was referred to me by my partner's family, as the majority of them have used or consulted her services. I went for guardianship and had no idea what it entailed— Katelynn was wonderful at explaining the process and being forward about realistic expectations. In no time I was granted guardianship due to her due diligence. She was patient with me, super informative to my questions, and VERY efficient in her work. Really, all I had to do was go about my life and she handled everything! She’s a Gem to the Treasure Valley and I will always consult her for anything I may need in the future. Thanks Katelynn!- Tianna M. -
