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.

"Highly, highly recommend."
Highly, highly recommend.
Katelynn was beyond amazing.
We just settled my custody case for my son and I am so happy with the outcome. As a first time mom, this was an extremely stressful and emotional process for me and Katelynn brought so much comfort and guidance to my situation. She was very honest with me and kept me level headed when I was being unrealistic or unreasonable at times. She had excellent communication with me and always kept me in the loop. I never had to wait longer than a day to get a response to any email or phone call. She usually got back to me within hours if not right away. She made me feel like my case took priority, knowing how important it was to me. I greatly appreciated her guidance, honesty and efforts in getting me the custody and the terms that I felt comfortable with. I chalk my case up to a huge win for us, all thanks to Katelynn. I am forever grateful.- Dani A. -
"Katelynn took on a difficult and contentious case"
Katelynn took on a difficult and contentious case that other lawyers wouldn't touch with both grace and tenacity. I was seeking full custody of my son in a complicated situation, and Katelynn stood by me and supported me when I needed it, reminding me what I was fighting for and not letting me give up when it was difficult and I was scared.
She fought for me through the entire process, making sure I was not taken advantage of and received the best representation possible. When a crisis arose, she maintained a cool head and kept me calm, guiding me through the process to keep my family safe and make sure my family's long term safety remained the paramount concern at all times.
She advocated for me when I couldn't advocate for myself, and as a result, I have full custody today, but most importantly, my family is safe. I never could have made it through the process without Katelynn and her wisdom and strength. She is truly committed to fighting for her clients and will never give up on you! I could not recommend anyone more highly.- Marisa K. -
"I had a very complicated case"
I had a very complicated case that required help from a legal professional. It took a while to find one that gave me the "warm fuzzies", but as soon as I came across K. Mitchell Law, I knew she would be the best. I was right, she is the best. Incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. Even in court, I felt confident that my concerns were voiced the way I wanted them to be. If I have any more legal problems solved, I know just where to go back to. K. Mitchell Law.
